UNSPSC 50613257: Canned or jarred Non GMO silver queen corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO silver queen 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 50613257 Canned or jarred Non-GMO silver queen corn, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product specification within school nutrition and institutional food service procurement. State and local governments source branded or equivalent canned corn products almost exclusively through school district food service bids and state health and human services facilities procurement, where corn appears as one line item among hundreds in larger food supply contracts rather than as a standalone solicitation.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), alongside state-level purchases from Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and state correctional or supported-living facilities. No solicitations tagged to this code have posted as standalone competitive bids for canned corn; instead, the code surfaces within large food aggregations where dozens or hundreds of line items—fresh produce, proteins, dairy, dry goods, condiments, and supplies—are bundled into comprehensive school or institutional food contracts. Ben Hill County Schools issued IFB #26271 in May 2026 (due June 15, 2026) for food products across multiple categories under Buy American Act requirements; Rockwood R-VI School District posted two grocery procurements (April 29, 2026 deadline) covering over 900 combined line items via NUTRIKIDS electronic submission; Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center, with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period; and Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes in June 2026 (due June 19, 2026) seeking 7,616 cases with USDA Grade B or better standards and Oregon-fabrication or resident-bidder preferences. The code shows little distinct market activity—canned corn is purchased as a commodity input to larger food service awards, not as a primary procurement driver, and vendors typically compete across entire food categories rather than on individual canned-vegetable SKUs.
