UNSPSC 50613247: Canned or jarred Non GMO precocious corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO precocious 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 50613247 Canned or jarred Non GMO precocious corn is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure shelf-stable canned vegetables under this code primarily to support institutional food service — state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services — where bulk purchasing of standardized products drives procurement activity. Recent solicitations show a mix of full-line food procurement RFPs and RFQs where canned corn appears as one item among dozens or hundreds of line items in comprehensive cafeteria or consumables contracts. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, county governments, municipal school districts, and regional government departments; Texas agencies (the Health and Human Services Commission and the Comptroller's office on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice) appear frequently in recent posting activity. The scope of work centers on delivery of USDA-compliant products meeting grade standards, shelf-life requirements, sodium content limits, and packaging specifications, with pricing structured as firm fixed unit rates (often per case or per ounce) and delivery required within tight windows — typically 7 to 30 days of order issuance to centralized distribution centers or individual facility locations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with supporting solicitations from Oregon and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), which carried a prior-period value of $1.5 million and encompasses 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and canned products; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) soliciting approximately 382 line items across five geographic distribution points; and Ben Hill County Schools' school nutrition program food bid (due June 15, 2026) requiring delivery to four school locations with Buy American compliance and HACCP plan requirements. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomatoes-specific IFB (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case from the prior purchase, illustrating that individual vegetable line items occasionally surface as standalone procurements when volume is substantial. F.O.B. Destination pricing with prepaid freight, minimum product shelf life of 12 months, and references or performance history verification are standard in all recent solicitations.
