UNSPSC 50443200: Frozen corn

The type of vegetable known as corn that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443200 Frozen corn, a Class code, represents a narrow commodity line within institutional food procurement — state and local governments buy frozen whole-kernel corn by the case or pallet to supply correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, and senior services programs. Recent solicitations show bundled food procurement that includes frozen corn alongside dozens of other proteins, vegetables, and staples, though the code itself isolates this single item. Issuing bodies span state departments (corrections, health and human services, transportation), county governments (Gwinnett County, Montgomery County), school districts (Bridgeport, Burke County, Early County), and state agencies purchasing for multi-facility networks. The scope is operational consumption—bulk food service supply chains where specifications demand USDA/FDA compliance, minimum shelf life (typically six months), precise temperature maintenance (0 degrees Fahrenheit in storage, 10 degrees or less upon delivery), and palletized or case-pack delivery to central warehouses or individual sites within 30 to 72 hours of order.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (HHSC and TDCJ multi-facility procurements), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), Georgia (state and school district buys), Pennsylvania (Montgomery County Correctional Facility), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000017692 on August 6, 2026, for 80,000 pounds of assorted frozen corn and related vegetables (response due August 20, 2026) with Oregon preference (5 percent for in-state processing, 5 percent for resident bidders); historical pricing ran $0.578 to $0.67 per pound with Alpine Food Group and Robbins Sales as prior awardees. Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitation HHS0017338 (July 17, 2026, due August 18) encompasses frozen specialty foods across 18 ordering entities statewide with estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum contract value of $19 million over three years. Gwinnett County Schools (Lawrenceville, Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen food items including canned vegetables on October 13, 2026, with response due October 19, 2026. The code sees steady, routine institutional demand with tight delivery windows, firm fixed pricing, and evaluation weighted toward specification and delivery compliance alongside cost.
