UNSPSC 50443232: Frozen iochief corn

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

UNSPSC 50443232 Frozen iochief corn is a Commodity code that covers frozen corn products procured by state corrections departments, school districts, and other public institutions for institutional food service, where state and local governments purchase frozen whole kernel corn in bulk quantities—typically 40,000 pounds per order—with specifications addressing FDA/USDA compliance, shelf life requirements of at least six months, and delivery to centralized warehouse facilities.

The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, school districts across multiple states, and county correctional facilities dominate recent activity under this code. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple frozen vegetable solicitations including frozen corn through ITB, with the July 2026 posting seeking approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel corn due July 24, 2026, priced at $0.498 per pound in the previous August 2025 award to Alpine Food. School districts nationwide solicit frozen corn and mixed vegetables as line items within comprehensive food service RFPs covering hundreds of products, while Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission procure frozen vegetables including corn variants statewide for correctional facilities and state supported living centers. Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon (multiple Department of Corrections solicitations posted in June and July 2026), Texas (TDCJ and HHSC procurements), and Georgia school districts (Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, and Savannah-Chatham County systems). The code shows consistent activity in institutional food service procurement, though frozen corn rarely appears as a standalone line item; it typically surfaces as one product among dozens in master grocery, food supply, or frozen vegetable lot procurements where evaluation centers on lowest responsive pricing, compliance with USDA grade standards, and vendor delivery capability to multiple sites within specified temperature and shelf-life parameters.
