UNSPSC 50613200: Canned or jarred Non GMO corn

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO corn that has been canned or jarred 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 50613200 Canned or jarred Non GMO corn, a Class code, encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred corn products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state agencies (health and human services commissions, departments of corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County), independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and specialized state institutions. Recent opportunities show governments buying canned corn as part of broader food procurement line items within comprehensive food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys; the code appears in solicitations where corn is listed alongside dozens or hundreds of other food products and consumables supplied to institutional cafeterias, canteens, and kitchen operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with additional visibility in Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple food and consumable bids (HHS0018082, HHS0017872, HHS0017449, HHS0016792V2) for state supported living centers and hospitals, with response dates ranging from March through October 2026 and line-item counts spanning 20 to 210 items. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) due October 19, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for the Department of Community Services. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia have each solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids for the 2026–2027 school year (due June 15 and June 5, 2026, respectively), covering dozens of line items including canned vegetables. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a specific canned-tomato bid (S2910000017145) due June 19, 2026 for approximately 7,616 cases, suggesting institutional demand for canned vegetable products across state prison systems. Individual line-item pricing and volumes for canned corn within these broader procurements are not disclosed in the summaries; response dates for active solicitations have passed or are imminent as of October 20, 2026.
