UNSPSC 50443209: Frozen butter and sugar corn

The variety of corn known as butter & sugar corn that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443209 Frozen butter and sugar corn, a Commodity code, represents a narrow food service supply category that state and local governments procure sparingly; recent solicitations show minimal direct activity for this specific frozen corn product, with most frozen vegetable procurement spanning broader assortments rather than single-variety commodity purchases.

The code sees limited recent activity across state and local jurisdictions. Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB on July 10, 2026 (S2910000017451) for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen, sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel style corn, with bids due July 24, 2026, priced at $0.498 per pound based on the prior August 2025 purchase from Alpine Food. School districts, correctional facilities, and institutional food service buyers represent the primary customer base for frozen corn under this code, though activity is episodic rather than continuous. The code appears to be used narrowly—solicitations tagged to UNSPSC 50443209 consistently name frozen corn as a single line item within broader frozen vegetable or grocery procurements rather than as the principal commodity being bought. Geographic spread is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and South, with Oregon Department of Corrections accounting for the most recent and identifiable activity; Texas institutional buyers (TDCJ, HHSC), Georgia school districts, and Pennsylvania county facilities also procure frozen vegetables under related codes, but dedicated frozen corn solicitations are sparse in the recent record. The work is straightforward commodity supply: bidders must meet USDA/FDA standards, provide minimum six-month shelf life, comply with allergen labeling, and deliver FOB destination on firm fixed pricing per pound. Institutional buyers typically apply modest Oregon or state-resident vendor preferences (5 percent for fabrication, 5 percent for residency, totaling up to 10 percent combined). Insurance requirements are standard—$1 million general commercial liability per occurrence. Award goes to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting specifications.
