UNSPSC 50613213: Canned or jarred Non GMO cotton candy corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO cotton candy 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 50613213 Canned or jarred non-GMO cotton candy corn is a Commodity code that sees little procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope; state and local governments do not appear to buy specialty items matching this specific description. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show instead that issuing bodies procure general food and consumable products—canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, fresh produce, and meal-service supplies—through school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual goods being sourced suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code has drifted from its original intent in practice.

Activity concentrates among school nutrition programs and state agencies in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato procurement (ITB S2910000015837, due February 9, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' multi-category food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food contract for state hospitals and living centers (IFB HHS0016792, due February 23, 2026 with estimated value of $4.5 million over three years), and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items procurement covering over 900 line items (electronic bid due April 29, 2026). Douglas County School System in Georgia and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia have also issued solicitations for larger-scale food supply and distribution. The absence of opportunities specifically requesting non-GMO cotton candy corn or similar specialty items signals that pursuits under this code should focus on general food commodity and food-service distribution capacity rather than the discrete product the code nominates.
