UNSPSC 50613220: Canned or jarred Non GMO earlivee corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO earlivee 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 50613220 Canned or jarred Non-GMO early-sweet corn is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable canned vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, primarily cafeterias, canteens, and meal programs at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and senior services centers. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned corn alongside broader institutional food baskets—often as one line item among dozens of canned proteins, vegetables, condiments, and food service supplies rather than as a standalone procurement. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, county boards of commissioners, state departments of corrections, school districts, and state-level procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears frequently as a repeat buyer, soliciting consumable foods for its network of state-supported living centers under multiple IFBs. Institutional food service—supplying fixed populations with shelf-stable, bulk-packaged goods—is the dominant use case.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods including prepared items and supplies for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, with estimated annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per line item; a prior Texas IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 11, 2026) for food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center noted a historical annual value of $1.5 million across 210 line items. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division posted IFB S2910000017145 (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case (prior purchase price from February 2026), illustrating typical canned-vegetable procurement scale and pricing at state correctional facilities. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia (due June 5, 2026) both solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids covering hundreds of line items with weekly or regular delivery to multiple school locations. Canned corn does not appear as a named item in the summaries provided, but the code's nomination alongside these institutional food-service RFQs and IFBs signals that canned non-GMO corn remains a stocked commodity within larger competitive food baskets rather than a standalone specialty or niche procurement.
