UNSPSC 50603260: Frozen Non GMO spring snow corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO spring snow 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 50603260 Frozen Non-GMO spring snow corn is a Commodity code that captures frozen vegetable procurement by state and local school districts and food service operations, though recent solicitations show the code sees limited direct activity under its narrow product name. State and local governments buying under this code typically source frozen corn and other frozen vegetables as components of broader school nutrition and institutional food service contracts. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—including Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District—along with state agencies such as the State of Georgia. These jurisdictions procure frozen and fresh produce as part of National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support, with contracts spanning multiple line items across vegetable, fruit, grain, dairy, and prepared-food categories. Vendors must meet HACCP plan requirements, carry general liability insurance typically in the $500,000 to $2,000,000 range, comply with Buy American provisions, maintain E-Verify authorization, and demonstrate food safety and recall capabilities.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with additional procurement in Texas.
