UNSPSC 50613253: Canned or jarred Non GMO seneca horizon corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO seneca horizon 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 50613253 Canned or jarred Non GMO seneca horizon corn, a Commodity code, encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred corn products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service operations for schools, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. The code sees active solicitation across school districts, state corrections departments, and health and human services agencies, predominantly through food service procurement cycles tied to annual contract renewals or quarterly ordering cycles. Recent opportunities reveal that corn products move as line items within larger food supply solicitations rather than as standalone buys—school nutrition programs and state institutional food services source them as components of comprehensive grocery and produce contracts covering hundreds of product categories.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Burke County Public Schools and Douglas County School System in Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), and state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state supported living centers and hospitals; Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, particularly with multiple school districts issuing overlapping food procurement cycles in spring 2026) and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), with secondary activity in Texas, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), encompassing multiple food categories under firm fixed pricing with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for food products across school cafeterias (due June 15, 2026), requiring Buy American Act compliance and firm pricing for 30 days post-award with quarterly escalation permitted thereafter; and multiple school district RFPs for annual K-12 food supply (Fairfax County IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026; Douglas County RFP SN 26-003 due February 18, 2026), all structured as firm fixed-price contracts with renewal options spanning one to five years and delivery requirements of multiple times weekly to school sites.
