UNSPSC 50443244: Frozen pearl white corn

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

UNSPSC 50443244 Frozen pearl white corn is a Commodity code used by state and local governments to procure frozen corn products for institutional food service operations, particularly cafeterias, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and health and human services agencies. State and local procurement under this code focuses on bulk frozen corn supplied in cases or truckload quantities, typically packaged in 2-pound bags or larger formats, with firm fixed pricing quoted per pound or per unit and delivery on FOB Destination terms. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county and municipal governments (Montgomery County Pennsylvania, the City of Bridgeport Connecticut), school districts (multiple Georgia and Missouri school systems, Fairfax County Virginia), and regional purchasing cooperatives serving school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations emphasize USDA/FDA compliance, six-month minimum shelf life, proper temperature maintenance, and adherence to whole-kernel, sweet yellow or golden variety specifications. Pricing references from recent awards show competitive rates ranging from $0.3811 to $0.498 per pound depending on case size and packaging format.

Oregon and Texas dominate recent activity, with the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing multiple frozen vegetable ITBs in June and July 2026 (including frozen corn at $0.498 per pound from the August 2025 benchmark), while Texas Health and Human Services and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued statewide solicitations for supplemental and cafeteria food products supporting state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional facilities. School districts in Georgia (Early County, Burke County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur City Schools) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) have posted comprehensive food bids encompassing frozen corn among dozens of line items for the 2026-2027 school year. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet golden or yellow whole kernel corn due July 24, 2026, with delivery to ODOC's Salem distribution center within 30 days and a reference price of $0.498 per pound; the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's comprehensive grocery procurement (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items including frozen products under Buy American provisions; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 11, 2026, with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period. Most school and institutional solicitations require firm pricing for initial 30- to 60-day periods with subsequent adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index documentation, HACCP compliance, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence, and compliance with federal Buy American or domestic sourcing provisions where federal child nutrition funds are involved.
