UNSPSC 50613208: Canned or jarred Non GMO butter and sugar corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO butter & sugar 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 50613208 Canned or jarred Non GMO butter and sugar corn (Commodity) covers shelf-stable corn products purchased by state health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, school districts, and county social services programs to supply institutional food service operations—canteens, cafeterias, senior centers, and residential facilities. The code sees active procurement across Texas health and human services institutions, Oregon corrections facilities, Georgia schools and counties, and Illinois state operations. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers sourcing canned corn alongside broader consumable food buys that include proteins, vegetables, grains, condiments, and food service supplies in single comprehensive solicitations rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The typical buyer is a state department, county board of education, or county health authority procuring food for high-volume institutional feeding operations under IFB or IWQ notice types with firm-fixed or unit pricing on F.O.B. Destination terms and 72-hour to 7-day delivery windows.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple recent IFBs for supplemental food and consumables to state supported living centers at El Paso and Lufkin (HHS0017449 and HHS0018082, due July 13, 2026 and October 23, 2026, respectively), with the El Paso solicitation showing a prior-year value of $1.5 million and the Lufkin canteen bid requesting 20 line items of prepared foods and supplies with delivery within seven days of order. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases with a 5 percent Oregon-residency preference and prior pricing at $13.75 per case. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia (PE55037NONST2027000000007, due May 26, 2026) each sought comprehensive grocery procurement including canned vegetables and related items across multiple school sites with firm pricing and subsequent adjustments tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index data. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) requested quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food including canned vegetables for senior services delivery within 72 hours. The code shows no recent single-commodity solicitations focused exclusively on canned corn; instead, corn appears as one line item within broader institutional food-service buys.
