UNSPSC 50443246: Frozen phenomenal corn

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

UNSPSC 50443246 Frozen phenomenal corn is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of frozen whole kernel corn in bulk quantities for institutional food service operations, primarily at correctional facilities and school districts. Recent opportunities show purchasing organizations acquiring frozen sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel corn in full truckload quantities (40,000 pounds per load) with detailed quality specifications, FDA/USDA compliance requirements, and firm pricing submitted on a per-pound basis. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division represents the most active issuing body under this code, appearing in multiple recent ITBs for frozen vegetables including corn procurement; school districts, county corrections departments, and state health and human services agencies also solicit frozen corn and related vegetable products through this classification. Issuing bodies are predominantly correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state institutional food service operations serving fixed-population daily meal requirements.

Oregon dominates recent activity, with the Department of Corrections posting multiple ITBs in June and July 2026 for frozen corn vegetables under S2910000017451 (40,000 pounds of frozen sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel corn, ITB due July 24, 2026 at $0.498 per pound per the August 2025 reference price from Alpine Food). The code shows activity across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois, and other jurisdictions, though the concentration is heaviest in the Pacific Northwest and in states with large correctional or school food-service systems. Oregon applies a combined ten percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-resident bidders. Delivery is typically FOB Destination to central warehouse locations with 30-day initial delivery windows, minimum six-month shelf life requirements at receipt, and payment within 30 days of invoice. This is a straightforward commodity procurement with recurring, predictable demand; margins are thin, logistics-intensive execution is critical, and incumbent suppliers (such as Alpine Food and National Food Group in Oregon) hold historical pricing references that establish competitive benchmarks.
