UNSPSC 50443237: Frozen lancelot corn

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

UNSPSC 50443237 Frozen lancelot corn, a Commodity code, encompasses frozen corn products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, including school lunch programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and county nutrition assistance programs. State and local buyers procure frozen corn in bulk quantities—typically 40,000 to 360,000 pounds per solicitation—as part of broader frozen vegetable and prepared-foods contracts. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies including state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county boards of education, county government purchasing offices, and state nutrition assistance divisions across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Connecticut, New Jersey, and other states. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited frozen corn repeatedly under ITB, most recently in July 2026 (S2910000017451) for approximately 40,000 pounds due July 24, 2026 at $0.498 per pound historical reference pricing, with Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidder preferences available (maximum 10 percent combined preference). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017338 in July 2026 for frozen food products across 18 qualified ordering entities statewide with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum potential contract value of $19 million over the full period, including frozen corn as a line item within a broader frozen food scope; award to a single broadline vendor was anticipated. The Oregon Department of Corrections also solicited frozen assorted vegetables including corn (80,000 pounds) in August 2026 (S2910000017692) under ITB with similar Oregon preferences, pricing at $0.578 to $0.67 per pound, and FOB destination delivery to Salem required within 30 days of order with subsequent truckloads 30 days apart. Smaller regional school districts and county institutions (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Early County Schools, Georgia; Burke County Schools, Georgia) issued food procurement RFQs, RFBs, and sealed bid invitations in May through October 2026 spanning multiple food categories including frozen vegetables. Pricing remains firm throughout initial contract periods, with subsequent adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data; F.O.B. destination delivery with refrigerated transport and temperature maintenance (0°F or lower at removal, 10°F or less upon delivery) are standard requirements. Most state procurements require vendors to meet FDA/USDA standards, HACCP compliance, commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence), and in some cases Oregon or Texas local-vendor preferences or set-asides for HUB-certified vendors.
