UNSPSC 50603262: Frozen Non GMO sugar and gold corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO sugar & gold 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 50603262 Frozen Non GMO sugar and gold corn, a Commodity code, covers frozen specialty corn products sourced from non-GMO varieties and supplied to school nutrition programs and state food service operations. The actual procurement under this code centers on bulk frozen corn for child nutrition services, institutional meal preparation, and cafeteria operations rather than retail or consumer-packaged products. State and local buyers—primarily school districts and state departments—solicit frozen corn as part of larger food service contracts that bundle proteins, produce, grains, and frozen vegetables. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing bodies, with several districts posting annual RFPs and RFQs for complete food supply lines that include frozen corn as a commodity item.

Recent opportunities show frozen corn appearing within broader frozen-foods and grocery solicitations across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas school systems. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB with a June 8, 2026 response date for approximately 300+ food items across meats, dairy, vegetables, and grains—a category that typically encompasses frozen corn—to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) solicited frozen foods and grocery items with an IFB due May 15, 2026 for the 2026-2027 school year, specifying whole-grain standards and low-sodium requirements common to frozen corn specifications. Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services (Missouri) sought grocery items with over 900 line items and an April 29, 2026 bid deadline, covering the 2026-2027 contract period. Dallas Independent School District (Texas) issued an RFP due April 2, 2026 for various food products including items subject to Texas Bill #314 compliance prohibiting artificial colors and high fructose corn syrup. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) posted two major food service RFPs in January–February 2026—one for Food Supply and Distribution Services with an estimated annual spend of approximately $9,000,000 and another through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Geographic concentration centers on Georgia and Texas school districts, with secondary activity in Missouri, reflecting national patterns of school nutrition procurement cycles aligned to the July-June fiscal year.
