UNSPSC 50613224: Canned or jarred Non GMO honey and cream corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO honey & cream 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 50613224 Canned or jarred Non GMO honey and cream corn is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable canned and jarred produce purchased by state and local food service operations—primarily state health and human services agencies operating institutional facilities, county social services departments, and public school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments procure canned vegetables (particularly corn, tomatoes, and mixed vegetables), canned proteins, and related shelf-stable food items as part of broader food-service supply contracts for canteens, cafeterias, and distribution centers serving residents, students, inmates, and employees across institutional campuses. The issuing bodies are predominantly Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities (state supported living centers), county social services and corrections departments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Oregon Department of Corrections), public school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Texas schools through TDCJ), state institutional food programs (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state health agencies (Illinois, Georgia, Oregon). The code also captures spot buys for specific food items alongside broader consumables contracts that bundle canned goods with fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and food-service supplies.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Health and Human Services Commission operations at Lufkin and El Paso state supported living centers; TDCJ cafeteria procurement), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and state-level Georgia procurement), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned-tomato bid). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods including prepared and canned items for Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County's informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins due October 19, 2026; Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products due June 15, 2026 covering multiple canned goods across four school locations; and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better) due June 19, 2026, with a previous purchase price of $13.75 per case. Most opportunities require F.O.B. Destination delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order, firm fixed pricing, and compliance with USDA and FDA standards; school-based contracts emphasize Buy American Act compliance and Child Nutrition meal patterns.
