UNSPSC 50613250: Canned or jarred Non GMO radiance corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO radiance 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 50613250 Canned or jarred Non GMO radiance corn is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within state and local food procurement. State and local agencies soliciting under this code buy canned corn products for institutional food service operations, primarily school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies. The actual recent activity shows that canned vegetables (including corn variants) represent a small subset of broader food procurement solicitations focused on institutional meal service. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state-operated facilities—Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission. These jurisdictions solicit canned vegetables as line items within larger RFPs or IFBs for comprehensive food supply contracts, not as standalone commodity purchases.

Recent opportunities show canned or preserved vegetable products solicited as part of multi-category food bids rather than individual specialty items. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products across multiple NIGP classes covering 30+ school districts via cooperative purchasing (GEC Buying Cooperative), with pricing due July 13, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issued dual IFBs in March 2026 for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products due April 29, 2026, encompassing over 900 line items across vegetable, fruit, grain, and protein categories. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #26271 in May 2026 for food products due June 15, 2026, with Buy American requirements and quarterly pricing adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas), Midwest (Missouri), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with school nutrition programs driving the majority of procurement volume. No recent solicitations target canned corn as a standalone specialty product; instead, the code appears as a minor line item within comprehensive institutional food service contracts where lowest-responsive-bidder award and firm fixed pricing predominate.
