UNSPSC 50603258: Frozen Non GMO silver queen corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO silver queen corn that has been frozen for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50603258 Frozen Non GMO silver queen corn is a Commodity code capturing shelf-stable and frozen produce items that state and local food service operations procure for cafeterias, senior services centers, and community nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect purchasing of frozen and shelf-stable vegetables, grains, proteins, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state institutional food service. The issuing bodies span county purchasing offices, state departments, and independent school districts — all of which routinely aggregate food purchases through informal quotes (IWQ), formal bids, and line-item RFQs to control unit costs and ensure compliance with program-specific dietary and sourcing mandates.

Georgia has emerged as the most active jurisdiction, with three recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026 and delivery required by December 7, 2026; the State of Georgia posted a bid solicitation on May 15, 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date; and Early County Board of Education released a line-by-line bid on May 11, 2026 for 300+ food items (meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains) and fluid milk to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, with bids due June 8, 2026 and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Evaluation favors lowest responsive and responsible bidder pricing per unit of measure, with delivery typically required within 72 hours to 6:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. Monday–Friday windows.
