UNSPSC 50613218: Canned or jarred Non GMO double delight corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO double delight 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 50613218 Canned or jarred Non GMO double delight corn is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty canned vegetables for institutional food service, including branded or equivalent products delivered to correctional facilities, state hospitals, school districts, and state-supported living centers. Recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies sourcing canned corn alongside broader food procurement categories—most notably as line items within larger school nutrition, prison cafeteria, and state healthcare facility supply contracts rather than as standalone single-item solicitations. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veteran Affairs), county and municipal school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Ben Hill County in Georgia, Burke County in Georgia, Fairfax County in Virginia, Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Muscogee County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), and state correctional and healthcare systems. Most activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Illinois, with sporadic sourcing across multiple jurisdictions within each state.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), encompassing multiple canned vegetable line items as part of a broader food-service procurement with historical monthly spend of $125,000; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due April 6, 2026), involving 7,616 cases with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case; and multiple school district IFBs such as Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (due June 15, 2026) and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items solicitation (due April 29, 2026 via NutriKids electronic submission), each encompassing dozens of canned-vegetable line items within 200–900-item food catalogs. Pricing remains firm for contract periods and is commonly indexed to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks. Most school contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options; state facility contracts often extend one to three years with discretionary extensions. Buy American requirements appear in school and public-facility solicitations. The code shows consistent institutional food-service activity but no standalone canned-corn–only opportunities in the recent block—the category functions as a component of broader food-supply contracts where volume and specification detail remain bid-document–specific rather than prominently featured in public notice summaries.
