UNSPSC 50613259: Canned or jarred Non GMO spring snow corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO spring snow 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 50613259 Canned or jarred Non GMO spring snow corn is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products purchased primarily by state health and human services agencies, correctional departments, and school districts to supply institutional food service operations, cafeterias, and nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect a narrow but steady demand for canned vegetables alongside broader consumables and food-service-supply buys. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for food and consumable products to support state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide; the Oregon Department of Corrections and school districts in Georgia and Texas also solicit canned vegetables as part of larger food-procurement packages. Work typically encompasses firm fixed-unit pricing on FOB Destination terms, with delivery within 7 to 30 days of order receipt, compliance with USDA grade standards (Grade A or B), minimum shelf-life requirements of 12 months or more, and product-specific sodium and nutritional constraints. Vendors must submit three references, insurance certification, debarment and E-Verify compliance, and often HACCP plan documentation when contract values exceed federal thresholds.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (IFB, due October 23) and HHS0017872 on August 11, 2026 (IFB, due August 25) for food and consumables to Lufkin State Supported Living Center; HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026 (IFB, due July 13) for El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and HHS0016792V2 on May 19, 2026 (IFB, due March 19) covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a three-year maximum value of $4.5 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes under S2910000017145 on June 5, 2026 (IFB, due June 19) with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia (IFB #26271, due June 15) and Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia (PE55037NONST2027000000007, due June 5 at 3:00 p.m.) both sought comprehensive food bids spanning canned vegetables within broader school nutrition procurements. The code shows no recent Oregon potato or tomato commodity-specific activity under the nominal corn classification itself; canned vegetables appear as line items within larger food service contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys.
