UNSPSC 50443237: Frozen lancelot corn

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

UNSPSC 50443237 Frozen lancelot corn (Commodity) represents frozen sweet corn products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — primarily correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school districts operating child nutrition programs. The code captures whole kernel frozen corn in bulk quantities, typically specified by weight or case count, with delivery to central warehouses or individual facility locations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers emphasizing product grading (Grade A or B), minimum shelf life (six months typical), FDA/USDA compliance, and FOB Destination pricing that includes all transportation and fuel surcharges. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county and municipal school districts, and special-purpose school nutrition authorities. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple frozen vegetable solicitations under this and related commodity codes in recent months; Texas state agencies (TDCJ, HHSC) and Georgia school districts (Early County, Burke County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, City Schools of Decatur) also solicit regularly for frozen produce including corn as part of larger food service contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000017451 on July 10, 2026, with bids due July 24, 2026, seeking approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen, sweet golden or yellow whole kernel corn at $0.498 per pound (prior purchase reference); the agency applies a combined ten percent Oregon-goods and Oregon-resident-bidder preference. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division) posted IFB 304T-26-300CF covering 382 food line items including frozen corn products, with the original April 21 deadline extended via addendum to May 4, 2026. Multiple Georgia school districts (Early County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur) issued competitive food bids in spring 2026 encompassing frozen vegetables and specialty items delivered to multiple school sites. These solicitations typically specify whole kernel corn in 10–40 pound cases, require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), and award on lowest responsive bid. Pricing across recent opportunities ranges from $0.30 to $0.50 per pound depending on case size and volume. Bidders must carry general liability insurance ($500,000–$1 million minimum), comply with HACCP and food safety requirements, and maintain delivery schedules of 30–45 days from order receipt. No formal protests are allowed under Oregon procurement rules; Texas and Georgia awards typically occur 60 days after bid opening.
