UNSPSC 50443220: Frozen double gem corn

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

UNSPSC 50443220 Frozen double gem corn is a Commodity code that describes state and local purchases of packaged frozen corn products—specifically whole kernel sweet corn in bulk quantities for institutional food service. Recent solicitations show state agencies, county governments, school districts, and correctional facilities buying frozen corn in 40,000-pound truckloads or larger volumes, FOB destination to central warehouses or distribution centers, with unit pricing quoted per pound and delivery timelines of 30 to 45 days from purchase order issuance. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school nutrition programs, and state supported living centers comprise the primary buyer pool, with contracts spanning 12 to 24 months and pricing historically ranging from $0.30 to $0.50 per pound depending on case size, variety, and market conditions. Products must meet FDA/USDA standards, Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations, and allergen labeling requirements, with minimum six-month shelf life at delivery. Bidders frequently face Oregon's ten percent combined preference program (five percent for Oregon-fabricated goods plus five percent for Oregon-headquartered vendors) and Buy American provisions in school nutrition procurement. Corrective facility and school nutrition contracts often include HACCP plan requirements, general liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence, and compliance with state-specific procurement regulations.

Oregon and Texas dominate recent activity, with the Oregon Department of Corrections posting at least three frozen vegetable solicitations between June and July 2026 (including S2910000017451 for frozen corn, due July 24, 2026, ITB, with 40,000 pounds sought at estimated $0.498 per pound from prior award and S2910000017439 for frozen potato products, due July 24, 2026, ITB, 120,000 pounds, awarded previously at $0.3811 per pound), Texas Health and Human Services Commission conducting statewide commodity procurements (HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables, due July 13, 2026, IFB, with prior year value of $1.5 million), and school districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Pennsylvania regularly issuing food nutrition bids encompassing frozen vegetables alongside other staples. Georgia school systems (Bulloch County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Schools) and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System posted fresh and frozen produce solicitations in April and May 2026 with annual contract values estimated at $4.4 million to $9 million district-wide. Correctional facilities in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (Bid 426, due July 1, 2026, ITB) and Texas prisons (TDCJ 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026, IFB, 382 line items with delivery to six distribution points) represent steady, high-volume purchasers. The code shows sustained activity from institutional buyers with regular, recurring demand for bulk frozen corn in standardized case configurations and long lead times that support supply chain planning.
