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 state and local governments buy as a line item within broader food service procurement for institutional feeding—specifically school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities sourcing inventory for cafeterias, nutrition programs, and dining operations. The code sits at the narrowest tier of the UNSPSC hierarchy and represents a discrete product specification rather than a broad service category. State and local buyers typically incorporate canned corn into larger, multi-category food supply contracts rather than procuring it standalone; recent activity shows the code embedded within food bids that span hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (elementary through high school systems) and state agencies managing institutional food service, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of recent activity. Notable repeat buyers include Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and various Texas state agencies including the Health and Human Services Commission and Department of Criminal Justice.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with substantial procurement volume in Georgia (multiple school districts including Burke County, Liberty County, and Muscogee County), Missouri (Rockwood schools), Virginia (Fairfax County), Texas (state agencies), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026; due July 13, 2026) seeking food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026; due April 27, 2026) covering seven distribution kitchens and 45 schools across the district, and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026; due June 15, 2026) encompassing multiple food categories with deliveries to four school locations. All solicitations employ IFB, RFP, or RFQ notice types with responses evaluated on lowest responsive bid or best value, firm fixed pricing requirements, and Buy American Act compliance mandates for domestic agricultural content.
