UNSPSC 50613227: Canned or jarred Non GMO hudson corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO hudson 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 50613227 Canned or jarred Non GMO hudson corn — a Commodity code — covers the procurement of canned and jarred corn products, including branded items and equivalent alternatives, for institutional food service operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school nutrition programs, institutional care facilities, and corrections departments purchasing food for meal service and operations. The opportunities show a mix of issuing bodies: school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and others), state departments of corrections (Oregon), state health and human services commissions (Texas), and state veterans homes (Illinois). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with food service contracts typically covering hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods to support cafeteria operations. Most solicitations use IFB or RFP notice types with firm, fixed pricing required for the contract period, though some permit midterm adjustments tied to manufacturer price increases of 5 percent or greater. Buy American provisions are common, and most contracts run July 1 through June 30 to align with school fiscal years, with renewal options extending three to five years.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County, and Muscogee County) posting multiple fresh-produce and grocery solicitations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued two large statewide food and consumables IFBs (HHS0017449 with a $1.5 million historical value for El Paso State Supported Living Center, and HHS0016792 with a $4.5 million maximum potential value across state hospitals and living centers). Oregon Department of Corrections has procured canned tomatoes and tomato paste (S2910000016405 in February 2026 and S2910000016089 in February 2026). The State of Illinois Veterans Home (27497DVAQUINCB52821) posted a quarterly food order RFQ due June 26, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia issued a Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323) due April 27, 2026, requiring bidders to service 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri, with school districts as the primary repeat buyers. No specific opportunities tagged directly to Hudson corn or non-GMO product lines appear in the recent block; the code shows activity under broader food-service categories where canned corn would typically be listed as one item among hundreds on food-supply line sheets rather than as a standalone solicitation focus.
