UNSPSC 50613245: Canned or jarred Non GMO phenomenal corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO phenomenal 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 50613245 Canned or jarred Non GMO phenomenal corn is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred corn products, typically as line items within broader food-service contracts for schools, state facilities, and correction departments. The recent opportunities block shows no dedicated solicitations for Non GMO corn specifically; the code appears embedded in multi-category food procurement RFPs and IFBs issued by school districts, state health and human services agencies, and state corrections departments, where corn products are specified as one of many hundreds of line items rather than as a standalone requirement. State and local issuing bodies—school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Burke County Public Schools, Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Illinois Veterans Home), and state agencies (State of Georgia, State of Illinois)—treat canned vegetables including corn as commodity inputs within annual grocery or food-supply term contracts. These procurements typically enforce Buy American requirements, USDA grade and sodium standards, and firm fixed pricing with quarterly or annual escalation tied to published indices such as USDA market reports or the Consumer Price Index.

Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts as the dominant repeat issuing bodies. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers statewide under NIGP classes covering 385, 390, 380, and 393, with historical spend of $1.5 million and pricing tied to CPI adjustments; the Ben Hill County Schools food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) encompassing multiple produce and processed-food categories with deliveries to four schools and Buy American requirements; and the Rockwood R-VI School District grocery procurement (due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items across dairy, grains, proteins, canned goods, and prepared foods for the 2026-27 school year. No recent opportunities in the block are exclusively or primarily for Non GMO corn, and the code itself shows marginal standalone procurement activity—corn products surface as minor components within larger food-service line-item lists rather than as distinct procurement drivers.
