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 that encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products procured by state and local governments for food service operations, including state institutions, school districts, and county social services programs. Recent state and local solicitations show that this code and related canned/jarred produce categories are actually being purchased as components of much larger, bundled food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys. The issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services, county commissioners' offices, school districts, departments of corrections, and state comptroller procurement divisions. Work under the code spans both direct institutional food service (state supported living centers, correctional facilities, hospitals, school cafeterias) and community nutrition programs operated by counties and municipalities. Vendors must meet USDA grade standards, federal Food and Drug Administration compliance, and specific shelf-life requirements; many solicitations mandate delivery within three to seven days of order and F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight included.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple recent IFBs for institutional food supply, including HHS0018082 (October 23, 2026 close) for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center and HHS0016792V2 (March 19, 2026 close) for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, June 19, 2026 close) with Oregon-fabricated goods receiving a 5 percent preference. Georgia school districts including Burke County and Ben Hill County Schools issued comprehensive food bids (May and June 2026 closes) covering hundreds of line items across multiple categories with Buy American Act compliance required. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (IWQ 140229, October 19, 2026 close). Canned vegetables appear consistently across these solicitations as line items within larger food service contracts rather than as exclusive procurements, typically bundled with fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and kitchen supplies.
