UNSPSC 50443207: Frozen biqueen corn

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

UNSPSC 50443207 Frozen biqueen corn (Commodity) is a narrowly defined food product that state and local governments procure primarily through institutional food service contracts for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and senior services programs. Recent solicitations show this code appearing in much broader food procurement notices—the actual buying encompasses dozens of frozen vegetable varieties, proteins, dairy, and dry goods bundled into comprehensive food service contracts rather than frozen corn alone. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county correctional authorities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), state departments of corrections (Oregon), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois), school boards (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Burke County and Early County, Georgia), and specialized state facilities such as veterans homes and state-supported living centers. The mix spans county-level procurement offices, state department purchasing divisions, and school nutrition programs operating under federal Child Nutrition reimbursement requirements.

Geographically, recent activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC and Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitations for state hospitals and living centers), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Burke County, and Early County school districts), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Pennsylvania (Montgomery County Correctional Facility), with additional activity in Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), New Jersey (Department of Human Services frozen vegetable rebid), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017338 (August 18, 2026 response deadline) for approximately $9 million annually in frozen food products across 18 qualified ordering entities statewide; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 (July 24, 2026) for 40,000 pounds of frozen corn with Oregon vendor preferences totaling 10 percent; and the Gwinnett County informal written quote PE77023NONST2027000000782 (October 19, 2026) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen food items including vegetables for senior services. Most contracts run July or September through June or August of the following year, with F.O.B. destination delivery, firm fixed pricing for initial periods, and escalation clauses tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index documentation.
