UNSPSC 50613244: Canned or jarred Non GMO pegasus corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO pegasus 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 50613244 Canned or jarred Non-GMO Pegasus corn, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within broader state and local food procurement — the source shows no recent opportunities tagged specifically to this code, though canned vegetable products appear incidentally in larger multi-category food solicitations. School districts, state institutional facilities (corrections, health services, veterans homes), and other state agencies solicit canned goods as line items within comprehensive food service contracts, but standalone canned-corn procurements are not evident in the recent record.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food service at scale — including school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County in Virginia, Burke County and Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia, and Muscogee County in Georgia), corrections departments (Texas TDCJ, Oregon DOC), health and human services facilities (Texas HHSC, Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy), and single-purpose nutrition programs — source their produce, proteins, and dry goods through standing master grocery contracts and seasonal IFBs and RFPs that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items. When canned corn appears, it is typically one item among 200–900 SKUs in a request for grocery items, fresh produce, or food supplies. The code's narrow scope and product specificity render it a sub-component of much larger procurement vehicles rather than a standalone buying category. Geographic activity spans school districts in Georgia (dominant), Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon, with Illinois and other states also active in institutional food service, but no jurisdiction shows repeated, recent solicitations for this specific commodity.
