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 covering frozen vegetable products, particularly corn prepared for institutional food service. State and local governments procure frozen corn and similar frozen vegetables under this code primarily through school district food and child nutrition services for breakfast and lunch programs, though the recent opportunities block shows this specific commodity receives minimal standalone solicitation. Instead, frozen corn and other frozen vegetables are embedded within broader frozen foods and grocery procurement solicitations where school districts and education agencies bundle vegetable purchases with other pantry staples, prepared entrees, and specialty items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—including independent school districts, county school systems, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles—supplemented by state education departments and child nutrition service offices. School district nutrition programs drive the vast majority of procurement activity under related frozen commodity codes, as these entities serve millions of student meals daily across their networks.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Georgia and Missouri school districts. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs in February 2026, covering 30 districts across two areas with an estimated annual spend of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited grocery items encompassing over 900 line items—including vegetables, fruits, grains, meats, and dairy—through electronic bid submission due April 29, 2026, serving approximately 6,900 daily lunch and 900 breakfast participants. The City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with delivery to ten sites, due May 15, 2026, requiring HACCP plans and Buy American compliance. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) sought line-by-line food bids supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, due June 8, 2026, across three schools with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations. The code itself shows no recent standalone solicitations for frozen non-GMO sugar snow corn; procurement of this item occurs within multi-category frozen food and grocery contracts where vendors submit pricing on dozens or hundreds of line items rather than single-commodity bids.
