UNSPSC 50603264: Frozen Non GMO sugar snow corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO sugar 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 50603264 Frozen Non GMO sugar snow corn is a Commodity code that covers individually quick-frozen corn products without genetic modification used in institutional food service. State and local governments procure frozen corn under this code primarily through school lunch programs and county social services meal provisioning. The sourcing pattern shows preference for domestic products, whole-grain or vegetable-forward formulations, low-sodium content, and items without artificial additives — preferences driven by USDA nutrition standards and local wellness policies. Recent solicitations across the code emphasize compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, food recall procedures, and delivery logistics including temperature-controlled transport and stock rotation by sell-by date.

Issuing bodies include county commissioners and board of education purchasing officers across Georgia and potentially broader regions, though recent activity in the source cluster centers on Georgia state, county, and independent school district buyers. Early County Board of Education solicited food bids for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program (IFB due June 8, 2026, contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026), and the State of Georgia posted a broader food and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Georgia counties and school districts, with early-summer bidding cycles aligning to new fiscal-year and contract-term commencements. Vendors should anticipate multi-month response windows, references for similar work, electronic payment capability, E-Verify compliance, and allowance for cost-of-goods escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks on six-month review cycles.
