UNSPSC 50603268: Frozen Non GMO treasure corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO treasure 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 50603268 Frozen Non GMO Treasure Corn (Commodity) captures frozen corn products sold to state and local school nutrition programs and food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts and state agencies sourcing frozen vegetables—including corn—as components of broader frozen food and grocery procurement. The Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid solicits line-by-line bids across approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits, with sealed submissions due June 8, 2026; the City Schools of Decatur issued an Invitation for Bid for frozen foods and grocery items for its School Nutrition Program with sealed bids due May 15, 2026; and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited bids on over 900 line items of grocery products including vegetables for the 2026-27 school year with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026. These solicitations reflect demand from independent school districts and school food authorities purchasing frozen vegetables as staple items for child nutrition services under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and county boards of education, with occasional state agency participation (the State of Georgia issued a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid in May 2026). The recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas.

Geographic spread of recent opportunities is dominated by Georgia school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and State of Georgia) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County), with Dallas Independent School District in Texas issuing a February 2026 RFP for various food products including items outside main commodity bids. School districts typically structure frozen vegetable procurement as components of consolidated food service bids rather than standalone produce lines, and recent awards emphasize domestic sourcing, HACCP compliance, food recall procedures, and delivery to multiple school sites on firm pricing through contract periods running July 1 through June 30. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 response deadline for approximately 300 food items with domestic sourcing preferences and low-sodium formulations; the City Schools of Decatur's May 15, 2026 IFB for frozen foods and grocery items requiring HACCP plans and $1,000,000 general liability insurance; and the Douglas County School System's cooperative GEC buying arrangement across 30 school districts (issued February 4, 2026, with March 4, 2026 response deadline) covering approximately 72 produce line items with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and approximately $1.1 million for Area Two.
