UNSPSC 50403234: Jubilee supersweet corn

The variety of corn known as jubilee supersweet corn

UNSPSC 50403234 Jubilee supersweet corn is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as fresh produce for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show direct purchasing of fresh corn alongside broader produce arrays rather than the varietal name driving stand-alone procurements; the code appears in competitive bidding for mixed fresh produce supply, with school districts dominating the volume of recent activity. Issuing bodies include school nutrition programs across multiple states, Head Start child care operations, and state departments of criminal justice operating institutional food services. School districts are the plurality buyer, with state education agencies and county school systems soliciting frequently under this and related produce codes. A small number of recent opportunities explicitly name corn or carrots or potatoes as primary line items, but most recent competitive opportunities treat individual produce varieties as part of larger fresh-produce supply contracts where bidders quote unit pricing across 40 to 72 separate line items. The code sits within a larger ecosystem of state and local fresh-produce purchasing where individual commodities are rarely bought in isolation.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, and Arizona. Georgia school nutrition programs—including Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, Douglas County (via cooperative), and Early County—issued at least fourteen fresh-produce solicitations between February and June 2026, most covering annual school-year supply from July 2026 through June 2027. Texas issuers include the Department of Criminal Justice (multiple bulk vegetable bids for institutional canning and food service), McAllen ISD, Northside ISD in San Antonio, and Austin ISD; Head Start of Greater Dallas; and the City of San Antonio Department of Human Services. Representative recent opportunities include Bartow County Schools (RFP 10-2026-019, fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026); Glynn County Board of Education (IFB 27-02, approximately 60 produce line items including apples, carrots, grapes, and tomatoes, bids due April 14, 2026); Douglas County School System via GEC cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, approximately 72 line items covering produce and eggs for 30 school districts, estimated annual value $5.5 million combined for two geographic areas, proposals due March 4, 2026); and Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB IW241979-A, bulk carrots 1,200 tons, bids due March 17, 2026). School districts typically require weekly delivery to multiple sites, HACCP certification, buy-American compliance, traceability documentation, and firm pricing for initial contract periods. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC appear frequently in Georgia, broadening individual district procurements to multi-district consortia. Most contracts run July through June to align with school years, with optional renewal periods extending to five years total. Activity reflects sustained institutional demand for fresh produce year-round, with sourcing preferences increasingly favoring local or regional supply within stated mileage ranges and domestic-grown product compliance.
