UNSPSC 50443208: Frozen bodacious corn

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

UNSPSC 50443208 Frozen bodacious corn, a Commodity code, describes a narrow product line that state and local governments procure primarily as a component of institutional food service contracts rather than as a standalone procurement. Recent state and local opportunities show frozen corn bundled within larger food supply agreements for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and state veterans homes. The code sees activity from a diverse mix of issuing bodies: state departments (corrections, human services, veterans affairs), county governments (particularly correctional authorities), school districts, and special-purpose state agencies. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers; Texas and Oregon show the most recent procurement momentum under this commodity.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 (July 10, 2026, bids due July 24) for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn kernels at the Central Distribution Center in Salem, with historical pricing at $0.498 per pound and a 10 percent combined Oregon-source and resident-bidder preference available; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017338 (July 17, 2026, bids due August 18) for frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, encompassing 106 line items including frozen corn and specialty vegetables with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (May 19, 2026, bids due June 15) for school food products including fresh and frozen produce under Buy American Act compliance. Activity is geographically distributed across Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, and Connecticut, with institutional food service (corrections and state supported living) driving the largest recent volume.
