UNSPSC 50613205: Canned or jarred Non GMO avalanche corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO avalanche 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 50613205 Canned or jarred Non GMO avalanche corn, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred corn products for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations in the source block include broader canned and fresh produce categories rather than corn specifically. School districts and state agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with school nutrition programs representing the largest buyer segment across elementary, middle, and high schools; state corrections and health-and-human-services facilities form a secondary but consistent market. State-level procurements include quarterly and annual food supply contracts for facilities serving corrections inmates, state hospital patients, and residents of state-supported living centers. School districts issue annual or multi-year nutrition contracts covering dozens to hundreds of line items, frequently through cooperative purchasing vehicles and e-procurement portals such as Bonfire. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with activity reported in at least a dozen states represented in recent solicitations.
