UNSPSC 50613236: Canned or jarred Non GMO lancelot corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO lancelot 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 50613236 Canned or jarred Non GMO lancelot corn, a Commodity code, sees limited recent activity in state and local procurement. The code is rarely solicited explicitly, and the source contains no recent state or local opportunities tagged directly to this specific commodity. State and local governments purchase canned and jarred vegetables—including corn—as part of broader food service contracts for schools, corrections facilities, hospitals, and supported living centers, but procurement offices typically aggregate these items into larger food commodity bids rather than isolate individual vegetable SKUs. When canned corn does appear, it is one line item among hundreds in institutional food solicitations, most often bundled with fresh produce, frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, and dry goods under consolidated supply agreements.

Recent opportunities demonstrate this pattern: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a historical value of $1.5 million and an initial contract term through August 31, 2027; the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes (S2910000016405, due April 6, 2026) specifying USDA Grade B or better, which signals similar commodity specifications likely apply to corn products; and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, Texas, and Virginia are running annual food procurement cycles (Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, and others) in which canned vegetables—corn among them—comprise individual line items within 200–900-item grocery bids. The geographic spread is national, with recent solicitations in Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. Business development professionals evaluating this code should recognize that winning corn supply contracts requires participation in much larger institutional food service RFPs and IFBs, typically as a secondary or ancillary commodity rather than as a standalone purchase opportunity.
