UNSPSC 50613248: Canned or jarred Non GMO pristine corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO pristine 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 50613248 Canned or jarred Non GMO pristine corn, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable canned or jarred corn products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned corn as part of broader food and consumable supply contracts for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state agencies managing institutional dining and food service. Canned corn typically appears as one line item among dozens or hundreds in comprehensive food procurement solicitations rather than as a standalone commodity, reflecting the code's narrow specificity within larger food service supply chains.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple institutional food supply IFBs covering fiscal year 2027, including HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables, due July 13, 2026 with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 requesting shelf-stable canned and jarred food items including canned vegetables for senior services delivery by December 7, 2026 (due October 19, 2026). Burke County Public Schools in Georgia solicited school nutrition food across nearly 400 line items including canned vegetables (bid due June 5, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a high-volume IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026, signaling demand for canned vegetable products in state institutional procurement. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia sought food items with whole grain and low-sodium specifications for four school locations (due June 15, 2026). Vendors responding to these opportunities typically supply canned corn as part of distributor or specialty food supplier relationships, with pricing evaluated per case or per unit of measure and delivery required within 7 to 30 days of order receipt on FOB Destination terms.
