UNSPSC 50443241: Frozen miracle corn

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

UNSPSC 50443241 Frozen miracle corn, a Commodity code, covers frozen whole-kernel corn products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — primarily correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state health and human services operations. Recent solicitations show procurement of frozen sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel corn in bulk quantities (40,000 to 120,000 pounds per award) with specifications requiring FDA/USDA compliance, six-month minimum shelf life, and firm per-pound pricing inclusive of all transportation and delivery charges on an FOB destination basis.

Issuing bodies under this code span state departments of corrections, school districts, and county and municipal facilities. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears twice in the recent block as a repeat buyer of frozen corn and other frozen vegetables; other purchasers include school nutrition programs across Georgia and Texas, county correctional facilities, and state health and human services commissions. Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon (multiple ODOC solicitations in April and July 2026), Texas (TDCJ and HHSC), and Georgia (school districts), with secondary activity in Pennsylvania (Montgomery County Correctional Facility), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and other states. A representative recent opportunity is the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division ITB S2910000017451 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 24, 2026) for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel corn, with pricing referenced at $0.498 per pound from the prior August 2025 award to Alpine Food and Oregon state preferences totaling up to 10 percent. Another is the Dallas Independent School District RFP JC250079 (posted February 22, 2026, due April 2, 2026) for various food products including frozen vegetables, with contract performance running May 29, 2026 through May 28, 2027, though specific frozen corn line items are not separately detailed in the summary. Award in state procurements typically goes to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specifications; Oregon offers combined Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences capping at 10 percent.
