UNSPSC 50443231: Frozen incredible corn

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

UNSPSC 50443231 Frozen incredible corn, a Commodity code, covers the supply of frozen corn products to state and local institutional food service operations—primarily correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, and senior services programs. State and local procurement offices solicit frozen corn as a component of broader food service contracts or as a standalone produce commodity, typically bundled with other frozen vegetables or procured individually through institutional feeding programs that require USDA-compliant, temperature-controlled delivery to central warehouses or facility kitchens.

State procurement activity under this code spans multiple issuing bodies: the Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for frozen corn and vegetable assortments; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicit frozen food products for state hospitals and correctional facilities; school districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education) and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education) bid food products including frozen vegetables; Gwinnett County, Georgia (Department of Community Services) and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (Correctional Facility) solicit groceries including frozen items; and the State of Illinois and New Jersey have posted frozen vegetable procurements for institutional nutrition programs. Oregon offers the most recent standalone frozen corn solicitation: solicitation S2910000017451, Oregon Department of Corrections, approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn (kernel style), ITB, due July 24, 2026, with a reference price of $0.498 per pound from the August 2025 award to Alpine Food.

Delivery requirements typically mandate FOB destination, refrigerated transport, minimum six-month shelf life, USDA/FDA compliance, and institutional-scale packaging (cases, pallets, truckloads).
