UNSPSC 50613237: Canned or jarred Non GMO maple sweet corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO maple sweet 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 50613237 Canned or jarred non-GMO maple sweet corn is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of canned and jarred vegetable products, primarily through school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies. Recent solicitations under this code span broader food supply contracts for institutional foodservice rather than sweet corn specifically; state and local buyers use the code as part of multi-item grocery and produce procurements that include canned vegetables among dozens of line items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (elementary through high school nutrition programs), state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions operating supported living centers and state hospitals, and a small number of state institutional facilities. School districts represent the largest concentration of recent activity, with multiple RFP and IFB notices from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), often bundling canned vegetables into master grocery or food-supply contracts covering hundreds of line items. State departments of corrections in Oregon and Texas, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission operating state supported living centers, and the Illinois Veterans Home represent secondary issuing bodies.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia dominates with at least six school district procurements since January 2026), the Midwest (Missouri and Illinois), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000015837 for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due February 9, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District's dual procurements for grocery items and net-off-invoice products (due April 29, 2026). School district contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options; institutional facility contracts show varying terms. Buy American Act compliance, USDA grade standards, and low-sodium specifications appear across most recent solicitations, with most school and corrections buyers evaluating on lowest responsive bid or best value and reserving the right to make single or multiple awards by line item.
