UNSPSC 50443208: Frozen bodacious corn

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

UNSPSC 50443208 Frozen bodacious corn (Commodity) represents a narrow segment of the frozen vegetable market that state and local governments procure primarily through correctional facilities and school districts, with recent solicitations showing demand for Golden or Yellow whole kernel corn in bulk truckload quantities. State purchasing offices—particularly the Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice—source frozen corn directly for institutional food service, specifying FDA/USDA compliance, minimum six-month shelf life at delivery, Grade A or B standards, and FOB destination delivery to centralized distribution centers. School districts also procure frozen corn as part of broader frozen-vegetable or grocery bids supporting child nutrition programs. The issuing-body mix skews heavily toward corrections departments and school nutrition programs in Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Texas, and Pennsylvania; a single solicitation opportunity under this specific code appears in the recent posting activity, though frozen-corn procurement often rolls into broader frozen-vegetable or "grocery" family codes where competition is wider.

The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division posted Solicitation S2910000017451 (Vegetables Frozen, Corn) on July 10, 2026, with an ITB due date of July 24, 2026, seeking approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen, sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel style corn delivered FOB destination to the Central Distribution Center in Salem within 30 days of purchase order issuance. The last frozen corn purchase in August 2025 was priced at $0.498 per pound from Alpine Food, establishing the recent market benchmark. Oregon offers combined preferences of up to ten percent for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders headquartered in the state. Contractor requirements include general commercial liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence, product identification with brand and nutritional facts labels, and submission through the OregonBuys system only; award goes to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Activity under this Commodity code remains sparse—most state and local corn procurement appears tagged to broader frozen-vegetable families (50440000 range) or grocery aggregates—signaling either narrow volume in this specific product line or classification variance across jurisdictions.
