UNSPSC 50443218: Frozen divinity corn

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

UNSPSC 50443218 Frozen divinity corn (Commodity) represents a narrowly specialized food product that state and local procurement offices source primarily through institutional food service contracts for correctional facilities and school districts. Recent solicitations show that jurisdictions procuring under this code treat frozen corn as a line item within broader frozen-vegetable or general grocery purchases rather than as a standalone commodity, with specifications typically calling for whole-kernel sweet corn packed in standard case quantities and meeting USDA Grade A or B standards with minimum shelf life requirements. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of corrections and school districts; the Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple frozen-vegetable ITBs in recent months that include frozen corn as a component item, and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Missouri source frozen vegetables including corn as part of comprehensive food service contracts. The code sees steady but modest activity concentrated in a small number of repeat buyers.

Recent procurement activity is geographically scattered across the Pacific Northwest, Southeast, Midwest, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division posted Solicitation S2910000017451 on July 10, 2026, requesting approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel corn with a response date of July 24, 2026 under an ITB, with pricing referenced at $0.498 per pound from a prior award to Alpine Food. School districts in Decatur and Bulloch County, Georgia; Rockwood, Missouri; and Dallas, Texas have included frozen corn or assorted frozen vegetables in broader grocery or food service RFPs and ITBs posted between March and June 2026, though none isolate frozen corn as a distinct line item. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurements for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0016792 and HHS0017449) reference frozen specialty foods and frozen products more broadly but do not itemize frozen corn separately. Activity under this specific Commodity code is limited; most procurement of frozen corn occurs as part of multi-item frozen-vegetable or general grocery solicitations where unit pricing and volume are negotiated together with competing vegetable products.
