UNSPSC 50613222: Canned or jarred Non GMO excel corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO excel 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 50613222 Canned or jarred Non-GMO excel corn, a Commodity code, represents processed vegetable products that state and local governments procure for school cafeterias, institutional food service operations at state facilities, and correctional institutions. Recent state and local solicitations under this code and closely related canned-vegetable categories show purchasing bodies acquiring canned and jarred vegetables as components of broader food-supply contracts rather than as standalone line-item procurements. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state health and human services agencies operating institutional dining and nutrition programs. School districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia) account for the majority of recent activity. State-level entities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois Veterans Home, and State of Georgia. Canned vegetables appear in school-nutrition grocery procurement solicitations as line items among hundreds of products, and in state institutional facility food contracts as specified items meeting nutritional standards, USDA grade requirements, and sodium-content limits (often capped at 240 mg per 100 grams).

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Midwest, with Georgia school districts posting the highest volume of active solicitations, followed by Texas, Missouri, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, encompassing canned goods under NIGP classes covering food service and consumable products; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 (posted February 20, 2026, due March 9, 2026) for tomato paste, a related canned-vegetable product; and multiple school-district solicitations such as Burke County Public Schools SN26-003 (due June 5, 2026) for school nutrition grocery procurement across nearly 400 line items including canned vegetables. The Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) and Liberty County Board of Education IFB (due April 29, 2026) specify canned fruits and vegetables as components of comprehensive food-supply contracts. Canned corn and related preserved vegetables are bought as recurring line items in annual contracts (typically July 1 through June 30 school and fiscal years) with firm pricing for the initial period and permitted mid-contract adjustments tied to documented manufacturer price changes or USDA/CPI indices. No recent solicitations single out non-GMO canned corn as a specification; the code appears most active as part of consolidated institutional food procurements rather than as a standalone commodity bid.
