UNSPSC 50613249: Canned or jarred Non GMO quickie corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO quickie 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 50613249 Canned or jarred Non GMO quickie corn, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable canned and jarred corn products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations show the code captures a narrow slice of broader food procurement activity. State and local governments procuring under this code are predominantly school districts, state facility operators, and correctional departments seeking canned vegetables as part of comprehensive food service contracts. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for canned corn; instead, the code appears alongside broader food commodity RFPs and IFBs where canned corn functions as one line item among dozens or hundreds in larger food supply contracts. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posted comprehensive grocery or food product solicitations in the past two months. State agencies also appear: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables at state hospitals and supported living centers, the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes and tomato paste, and the Illinois Veterans Home issued RFQs for weekly food orders. Correctional facilities in Texas and Oregon and state-operated living centers in Texas represent secondary institutional buyers.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, and Douglas County) posting the highest density of recent solicitations, followed by activity in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Missouri (Rockwood), Oregon (ODOC), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Illinois (IVHQ). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services division's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP classes 385, 390, 380, and 393 with historical value of $1.5 million annually; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026, requiring weekly deliveries to 45 schools and a central warehouse across a school year contract; and Rockwood R-VI School District's concurrent solicitations for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products due April 29, 2026, each spanning over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year serving approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants. These opportunities typically award to lowest responsive, responsible bidders and remain firm for 30 to 365 days post-award, with many allowing midterm price adjustments tied to USDA indices or manufacturer price changes.
