UNSPSC 50443247: Frozen platinum lady corn

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

UNSPSC 50443247 Frozen platinum lady corn is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the taxonomy. State and local governments actually buy frozen corn and closely related frozen vegetables under this code — specifically whole-kernel sweet corn, mixed frozen vegetable blends, and assorted frozen vegetable products — to supply institutional food service operations at correctional facilities, state hospitals, school districts, and social service agencies.

The issuing-body mix is heavily weighted toward state agencies and school districts. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears repeatedly as a major buyer of frozen vegetables, posting multiple ITBs for frozen corn, carrots, assorted blends, and green beans since February 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission issue comparable solicitations for frozen food products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. School districts across Georgia (including Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, and Savannah-Chatham County) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) post regular frozen-vegetable and grocery bids to support child nutrition programs. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and New Jersey's Department of Human Services round out the institutional buyer base. Geographic activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Texas, and the Southeast (Georgia), with secondary activity in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. Recent solicitations span February through July 2026, with the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing at least four distinct frozen-vegetable ITBs (frozen corn, frozen carrots, frozen assorted blends, and mixed frozen vegetables) between February and July 2026, suggesting sustained and cyclical procurement demand. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 (Vegetables Frozen, Corn) due July 24, 2026, seeking approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen whole-kernel sweet corn at historical reference pricing of $0.498 per pound, and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016558 (Vegetables Frozen, Assorted) due April 22, 2026, soliciting 400,000 pounds across five vegetable product lines (green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, stir fry blend, and peas) at historical pricing ranging $0.537 to $0.689 per pound. Both Oregon solicitations apply Oregon-goods and Oregon-resident-bidder preferences of five percent each, capped at ten percent combined. Pricing is per-pound or per-unit on FOB-Destination terms with all transportation prepaid, delivery windows typically 30 to 45 days after purchase order issuance, and award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Commodity-code activity under 50443247 is steady and fragmented across multiple institutional buyers with no dominant single purchaser.
