UNSPSC 50443217: Frozen diamonds and gold corn

The variety of corn known as diamonds & gold corn that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443217 Frozen diamonds and gold corn, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally references precious commodity items, but the recent opportunities show state and local governments soliciting frozen vegetables—specifically frozen corn, carrots, mixed vegetables, and assorted frozen produce—for institutional food service in correctional facilities, school districts, and health and human services centers.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing frozen produce under this code span correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania), school districts (Early County Schools in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Bulloch County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Dallas Independent School District in Texas), health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois state operations), and a municipal Board of Education (Bridgeport, Connecticut). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Pennsylvania, with additional activity in Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Recent representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn at $0.498 per pound (due July 24, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including frozen specialty entrees to five warehouse locations (extended to May 4, 2026), and the Bridgeport Board of Education RFP for over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products for the National School Lunch Program under Buy American requirements (due June 30, 2026). School districts consistently specify whole grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, HACCP plans, minimum shelf life (typically six months for frozen goods), FDA/USDA certification, and liability insurance of $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence, with award typically made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder and payment within 30 to 45 days of delivery.
