UNSPSC 50613264: Canned or jarred Non GMO sundance corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO sundance 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 50613264 Canned or jarred Non GMO sundance corn, a Commodity code, represents narrowly specified produce procurement for institutional food service, with state and local governments buying branded or equivalent canned vegetables for school nutrition, state facility food service, and correctional institution supply chains. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying canned vegetables—tomatoes, corn, and similar items—as part of broader food service procurement. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments, school districts (including independent districts like Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Muscogee County School District), and state-supported living centers and correctional facilities. A Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement (HHS0017449, due Jul 13, 2026) seeks food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and unit pricing on Exhibit C. The State of Illinois issued quarterly food-order RFQs for its Veterans Homes (solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due Jun 26, 2026) permitting brand-specific items or approved equivalents. Oregon Department of Corrections regularly procures canned tomatoes and tomato paste via ITB through OregonBuys, with the February 2026 canned-tomato solicitation (S2910000015837) seeking 7,616 cases at historical pricing near $14.30 per case from Highland Wholesale.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with school districts as the largest segment of recent buyers. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Muscogee County School District) all posted food bids between late March and late May 2026, primarily as IFBs or ITBs with response dates in April through May. Texas procurements through HHS and the Comptroller (TDCJ cafeteria-food solicitation 304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) reflect consistent high-dollar institutional demand. Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District posted dual grocery solicitations (Mar 31, 2026, due Apr 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items via the NutriKids electronic system. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple canned-vegetable bids (tomato paste ITB S2910000016089, due Mar 9, 2026; canned tomato ITB S2910000016405, due Apr 6, 2026) applying 5 percent Oregon-fabrication and resident-bidder preferences. Virginia's Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due Apr 27, 2026) established a Master Grocery K-12 contract requiring 76-item minimum responsiveness across 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens. Canned vegetables and other shelf-stable products are typically bundled into broader food-service RFPs rather than solicited individually, with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content) and USDA-grade compliance standard across all recent procurements. The code shows consistent quarterly or annual demand cycles aligned with school-year and fiscal-year procurement calendars, with response windows typically 2–4 weeks from posting.
