UNSPSC 50403209: Butter and sugar corn

The variety of corn known as butter & sugar corn

UNSPSC 50403209 Butter and sugar corn, Commodity tier, names canned, frozen, or fresh corn products supplied to institutional food service operations — including state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and other public agencies managing cafeteria and kitchen operations at scale. State and local procurement under this code centers on bulk produce sourcing for institutional meal programs rather than retail-packaged goods; recent solicitations reflect demand for fresh vegetables (including corn), frozen corn products, and fresh produce more broadly across Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois state institutions, and school nutrition programs in Georgia, Florida, and Wisconsin.

State supported living centers and correctional facilities drive much of the recent activity, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice posting multiple solicitations for fresh vegetables and frozen food products since late summer 2026. School districts and county boards of education in Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida also solicit fresh produce regularly, often with seasonal or annual contract terms tied to school year calendars. The code sees concentrated activity in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Wisconsin; representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (consumable foods including vegetables and food service supplies for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, bids due October 23, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations for prison food warehouses (Wynne, Snyder, and Palestine locations, responses due October 14 and October 19, 2026), and the Dougherty County Board of Education School Nutrition Program's sealed bid for fresh produce across 24 school sites (bids due June 16, 2026). Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (bids due July 29, 2026), requiring produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison and delivered in ready-to-eat form. Collier County, Florida, issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park with an embedded produce component (proposals due March 6, 2025). Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health issued small-purchase procurements for fresh fruits and vegetables to correctional and mental health facilities (due dates August 14 and September 3, 2026).
