UNSPSC 50443227: Frozen how sweet it is corn

The variety of corn known as how sweet it is corn that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443227 Frozen how sweet it is corn, a Commodity code, represents frozen whole kernel sweet corn that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service—correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and school districts operating child nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show buyers purchasing bulk frozen corn in truckload quantities, typically 40,000 pounds per order, with specifications emphasizing FDA/USDA compliance, six-month minimum shelf life, Grade A or B standards, and FOB destination delivery to centralized warehouse distribution centers.

Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county and municipal correctional facilities, and school districts across multiple states. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple frozen vegetable solicitations in recent months, indicating regular and recurring procurement activity. Oregon county jails and state corrections agencies represent the most visible recent buyers under this code. Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Pacific Northwest and Texas, with Oregon Department of Corrections posting the most granular solicitations. A representative recent opportunity is Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 (Vegetables Frozen, Corn), posted July 10, 2026, with bids due July 24, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST, seeking approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen whole kernel sweet corn at per-pound pricing; the prior August 2025 purchase from Alpine Food was priced at $0.498 per pound, establishing a baseline. The State of Illinois also solicited frozen food products under FY-27 IVHQ (Solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821), posted June 18, 2026, due June 26, 2026, covering quarterly food supply including frozen items with brand-specific or equivalent products. Winning bidders must carry general commercial liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence, comply with allergen labeling and nutritional documentation requirements, and meet delivery deadlines within 30 to 45 days of purchase order issuance; Oregon applies a combined ten percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders, creating a potential advantage for regional suppliers.
