UNSPSC 50613233: Canned or jarred Non GMO jubilee supersweet corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO jubilee supersweet 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 50613233, Canned or jarred Non GMO jubilee supersweet corn (Commodity), names a single product line within institutional food procurement; in practice, state and local governments are buying it as part of much larger food-service contracts that bundle dozens of shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, grains, and consumables for state facilities, school districts, and correctional institutions. The issuing bodies span Texas health and human services agencies, Georgia and Oregon state departments, county boards of education, county health departments, and correctional systems. Work solicited under the code includes weekly or annual supply fulfillment for state supported living centers, prison canteens and cafeterias, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations, with vendors responding to RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs that specify product grades (often USDA Grade A or B), sodium content limits, shelf-life minimums, delivery windows (typically within 7 days of order or 30 days of purchase order issuance), and FOB Destination pricing inclusive of freight. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), which specified 22 line items including canned corn alongside French fries, sauces, and food service supplies; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case from the prior purchase); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (extended deadline May 4, 2026, approximately 382 line items with firm fixed pricing).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, State of Georgia), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with additional Illinois activity. Contracts typically run 12 months (often September 1 through August 31) with renewal or extension options at the procuring agency's discretion. Vendors must meet federal compliance requirements including E-Verify verification, debarment and suspension certifications, HACCP plan implementation, Buy American Act compliance where applicable (particularly in school nutrition), and liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000. Pricing structures are firm and fixed for initial contract periods, with adjustments permitted at renewal tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks. Historical contract values range from smaller annual commitments (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools school-level orders) to statewide institutional operations such as the Texas HHS El Paso State Supported Living Center procurement with prior-period value of $1.5 million, and the statewide supplemental food and consumables IFB with potential three-year value of $4.5 million. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are noted in the recent opportunities; Texas bidder preferences and Oregon resident or in-state fabrication preferences apply in those jurisdictions.
