UNSPSC 50443242: Frozen nk-199 corn

The variety of corn known as nk-199 corn that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443242 Frozen nk-199 corn is a Commodity code naming a single frozen vegetable product line that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — correctional facilities, school districts, and state-supported living centers. Recent opportunities show that state agencies and county school systems are buying frozen corn in bulk quantities (40,000 to 120,000 pounds per solicitation) as a staple component of meal programs, with specifications emphasizing FDA/USDA compliance, six-month minimum shelf life, Grade A or B quality, and delivery FOB destination to central distribution warehouses. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple frozen vegetable solicitations (including frozen corn and assorted vegetables) in the same window, signaling ongoing institutional demand for commodity produce.

Oregon leads recent activity under this code, with the Oregon Department of Corrections posting an ITB for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel corn on July 10, 2026 (due July 24, 2026), offering Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences totaling up to ten percent; the same issuing body previously purchased frozen corn at $0.498 per pound from Alpine Food in August 2025. Texas state agencies (TDCJ, HHSC) and Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Early County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, City Schools of Decatur) have posted broader grocery and frozen-produce solicitations that include frozen corn or comparable frozen vegetables as line items within larger food-supply contracts, typically with July 1, 2026 start dates and one-year initial terms. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county and independent school districts, and municipal school systems. The code shows steady institutional procurement activity but no recent opportunities tagged solely to frozen corn; frozen corn typically appears as one line item within multi-category food solicitations, suggesting that standalone commodity opportunities may be less frequent than bundled grocery or vegetable-assortment buys.
