UNSPSC 50613263: Canned or jarred Non GMO sugar snow corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO sugar 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 50613263 Canned or jarred Non GMO sugar snow corn, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, particularly school districts, correctional facilities, and state health and human services agencies. Recent solicitations show purchasing across diverse produce categories including canned tomatoes, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery items, with the code capturing a narrow slice of the broader institutional food procurement ecosystem. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related produce and canned-goods categories include school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state supported living centers and state hospitals, Illinois Veterans Home), and other state institutions. These buyers issue RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs on recurring annual or quarterly cycles tied to fiscal-year budgets and meal-service planning.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia based on recent solicitation posting dates from January through June 2026.
