UNSPSC 50613261: Canned or jarred Non GMO sugar and gold corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO sugar & gold 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 50613261 Canned or jarred Non GMO sugar and gold corn is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable canned corn products that state and local governments procure for cafeteria operations, food service programs, and facility canteen supply. Recent solicitations show the code spans both prepared fresh and frozen corn items alongside canned variants, reflecting how issuing bodies bundle commodity vegetables into larger food-service RFQs and IFBs. Buyers under this code include state health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers and hospitals, county boards of commissioners purchasing for senior services and community programs, school districts sourcing cafeteria ingredients, and state departments of corrections and criminal justice. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat issuer, having posted multiple food consumables solicitations in the past four months. The scope encompasses individual cases of canned corn products delivered to central distribution facilities, cafeteria kitchens, and on-campus canteen operations, with F.O.B. Destination pricing, delivery windows typically within 7 to 30 days of order, and compliance requirements including USDA grade certifications, FDA standards, shelf-life minimums, and sodium content limits where specified.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary posting from Oregon and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 (due July 13) for food and consumable products serving El Paso State Supported Living Center and state health services facilities statewide, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and food items spanning fresh, frozen, dry, and canned categories under NIGP classifications. In October 2026, HHS posted IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23) for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, requesting line-item bids on prepared foods and supplies with seven-day delivery. Oregon Department of Corrections posted IFB for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19) requiring 7,616 cases of USDA Grade B or better, signaling comparable demand patterns for shelf-stable vegetables across state systems. School districts in Georgia—Burke County Public Schools and Ben Hill County Schools—issued separate food bids in May and June 2026 encompassing hundreds of line items including canned and frozen produce for cafeteria supply. Response dates have passed on most postings from the May-July window; Texas HHS October solicitations remain active or recently closed.
