UNSPSC 50443225: Frozen honey and cream corn

The variety of corn known as honey & cream corn that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443225 Frozen honey and cream corn, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader institutional food service operations—specifically frozen sweet corn products for correctional facilities, schools, and health and human services institutions. Recent solicitations show Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) purchasing frozen whole kernel corn at approximately 40,000 pounds per order (ITB S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026), and multiple jurisdictions sourcing frozen vegetable assortments that include corn alongside other varieties. The code sits within a much larger procurement ecosystem; state and local buyers rarely issue standalone bids for this commodity alone but instead bundle frozen corn into multi-item food service contracts covering proteins, grains, produce, and supplies. Issuing bodies are predominantly state corrections and human services departments, school districts, and county institutions. Oregon Department of Corrections appears repeatedly in recent postings, alongside Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and school districts across Georgia, Missouri, and other states. These entities typically solicit through ITBs and IFBs with firm, fixed unit pricing quoted per pound or per case, FOB destination, and delivery within 30 to 45 days of purchase order issuance.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and the Mid-Atlantic region (Pennsylvania). Oregon ODOC's July 2026 frozen corn bid (S2910000017451) closes at $0.498 per pound based on August 2025 historical pricing from Alpine Food, offering a market reference point; the same buyer also issued frozen vegetable assortments bids in April 2026 (S2910000016589, S2910000016558) and frozen carrot bids in February–March 2026 (S2910000016071). Texas HHSC and TDCJ have posted multiple supplemental food and cafeteria product procurements since February 2026 with contract values ranging up to $4.5 million over multi-year periods, though frozen corn appears as one line item within comprehensive food-service packages rather than a dedicated commodity. School district food bids in Georgia, Missouri, and other states (Rockwood R-VI, Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, City Schools of Decatur, Fairfax County Public Schools) all name frozen vegetables and specialty items across their product lists. Correctional facilities in Pennsylvania and Texas pursue similar procurement cycles. Set-asides for Oregon-fabricated goods (5 percent) and resident bidders (5 percent additional, capped at 10 percent combined) appear in ODOC solicitations; Texas buys often allow HUB subcontracting plans but do not mandate set-asides at commodity line level. Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content minimum) apply consistently across school-district food procurements.
