UNSPSC 50613260: Canned or jarred Non GMO spring treat corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO spring treat 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 50613260 Canned or jarred non-GMO spring treat corn, a Commodity code, describes one narrow product line within the broader state and local food procurement ecosystem, but the recent opportunities tagged with this code do not reflect actual purchases of the specified item—instead they span general school nutrition food service, state facility food supply, and correctional facility food provisioning across multiple food categories including proteins, produce, dairy, and prepared entrees.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code are predominantly school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), and a few municipal procurement offices. School districts represent the largest cluster of recent solicitation activity, typically issuing IFBs or RFPs for annual food contracts covering July through June fiscal years. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers, each posting multiple opportunities for food and consumable supplies. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia school districts posting frequently), with secondary activity in Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers statewide with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes delivered in multiple loads to Salem; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food categories across four school locations; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 bid IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) requiring weekly delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens. These solicitations consistently demand firm fixed pricing inclusive of transportation, compliance with Buy American Act provisions where applicable, HACCP food safety plans, and liability insurance minimums of $1 million to $2 million. Contract terms typically run one fiscal year with renewal options extending two to four years. The mismatch between the nominal code (non-GMO spring treat corn specifically) and the actual procurement scope (general food service supply) signals that state and local classification of food-service opportunities under this commodity code does not reflect what is actually being purchased—the code captures a fraction of broader food-supply work that state and local bodies solicit regularly under multiple UNSPSC categories.
