UNSPSC 50443201: Frozen aloha corn

The variety of corn known as aloha corn that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443201 Frozen aloha corn is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as a shelf-stable protein and vegetable component for institutional food service programs, though recent opportunities reflect broader frozen-vegetable and comprehensive grocery procurement rather than aloha corn as a discrete line item. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county social-services departments, state correctional and health-services agencies, school districts, and municipal food-service operations. The work encompasses purchasing frozen vegetables and related food commodities for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and school nutrition programs on an as-needed or quarterly basis, typically through informal written quotes (IWQ), invitations for bid (IFB), or invitation to bid notices (ITB) with response windows of two to six weeks.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and West Coast. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services; the Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables since July 2026, including frozen corn (40,000 pounds due July 24, 2026) and assorted vegetable blends (360,000 pounds due August 20, 2026), both offering 10 percent combined Oregon-vendor preferences; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for frozen food products serving state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas, with estimated annual volumes of $9 million and maximum contract values reaching $19 million over multiple-year terms; the State of Illinois issued an RFP for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in August 2026; and school districts in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Burke County, Early County, and Ben Hill County) posted food bids between May and June 2026 encompassing frozen vegetables as line items within comprehensive school-nutrition procurements. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania has issued two solicitations for groceries and meats to the County Correctional Facility (May 2026 and September 2026). The code shows no concentrated single-jurisdiction activity; instead, it reflects distributed demand across state facilities and school nutrition programs with recurring seasonal or quarterly buys.
