UNSPSC 50613268: Canned or jarred Non GMO tuxedo corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO tuxedo 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 50613268 Canned or jarred Non GMO tuxedo corn is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code or related canned-vegetable categories show little alignment with non-GMO tuxedo corn specifically; instead, state and local buyers are procuring broad food-service baskets that include canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, proteins, and general grocery items for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and veterans' homes.

State and local government purchasing under codes adjacent to this one spans school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Douglas County systems in Missouri and Georgia, Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, Liberty County and Burke County in Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon ODOC), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Veterans Home), and county boards of education. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB for supplemental food and consumable products covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers (response due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due February 9, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract for grocery delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois. However, no recent solicitation explicitly names non-GMO tuxedo corn as a line item or specification, and procurement activity under this Commodity code appears dormant or misaligned with actual category usage.
