UNSPSC 50613266: Canned or jarred Non GMO terminator corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO terminator 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 50613266 Canned or jarred Non GMO terminator corn, a Commodity code, names products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — primarily school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state health and human services operations, and veterans' homes. The recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies buying canned and jarred vegetables, including corn, tomatoes, and mixed produce, as line items within broader food-service contracts, though the source contains no solicitations specifically tagged to Non-GMO corn. State and local issuing bodies active under related vegetable codes include independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia, Muscogee County Schools in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and individual state veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy). School districts represent the plurality of recent buyers, with multiple Georgia school systems soliciting food products in recent months.

Geographically, recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with Georgia school districts particularly active through spring 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumable products including canned goods for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million), Fairfax County Public Schools' sealed bid for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products across multiple categories including canned items (PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026 at 2:30 p.m.). Canned and jarred vegetable procurement sits consistently within larger food-service contracts typically invoiced at firm, fixed unit rates inclusive of delivery; school nutrition contracts often run July through June with renewal options, while corrections and health-services contracts vary by state fiscal year. Buy American Act compliance and USDA grade standards are standard requirements across jurisdictions.
