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, a Commodity code, does not reflect significant recent state and local procurement activity. The code description names a specific frozen corn product variety, but recent opportunities tagged with this code show minimal or tangential alignment with the commodity's scope. A review of posted solicitations reveals that state and local governments are procuring frozen corn and other frozen vegetables through related codes and broader food-service categories rather than under this specific commodity designation. The single most recent opportunity directly tagged to frozen corn procurement comes from the Oregon Department of Corrections, which issued an ITB for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel style corn on July 10, 2026, with bids due July 24, 2026—but this represents isolated activity rather than a sustained market signal under the code.

State and local procurement of frozen vegetables, including corn, occurs primarily within institutional food service contracts issued by corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and school nutrition programs across Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple county and school district nutrition programs. These solicitations typically embed frozen corn within broader grocery, produce, and food-service line-item procurements rather than as standalone commodity contracts. Pricing in recent Oregon bids ranged from $0.498 per pound (August 2025 historical reference) to current competitive rates, with deliveries required to central distribution facilities and subject to Oregon's combined ten percent preference for in-state fabrication and resident-headquartered vendors. The code shows insufficient recent isolated activity to signal near-term standalone pursuit; vendors should monitor institutional food-service and frozen-produce categories for bundled opportunities that include corn as one line item among dozens.
