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, a Commodity code, represents a narrow slice of the frozen produce category that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, senior services programs, and school nutrition operations. Recent solicitations show buyers sourcing frozen corn as a component of larger multiline food procurement vehicles rather than as standalone specialty items; the code appears in mixed-vegetable bundles, bulk frozen-vegetable contracts, and comprehensive cafeteria-supply awards where corn competes alongside broccoli, green beans, mixed vegetables, and potato products under common sourcing cycles. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county governments operating correctional or senior services facilities, and school districts operating child nutrition programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Montgomery County and Gwinnett County in Georgia and Pennsylvania respectively have posted recent opportunities in this commodity family, indicating steady demand across the correctional and institutional-care sectors.

The code shows consistent geographic activity across the South (Georgia, Texas, Pennsylvania), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Midwest (Illinois), with the most recent solicitation volume concentrated in Texas and Oregon state agencies. A representative opportunity is the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 (July 2026, due July 24, 2026) for 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn at the Central Distribution Center in Salem, with historical pricing at $0.498 per pound and preferences available for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders totaling up to ten percent. Another is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017338 (posted July 17, 2026, due August 18, 2026) requesting bids on 106 line items of frozen food products including vegetables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum potential contract value of $19 million over the full period. Delivery, food-safety compliance, and minimum shelf-life requirements (typically six months or more) are standard, and pricing is typically submitted per pound or per case on an FOB-destination basis with transportation and fuel charges prepaid by the contractor.
