UNSPSC 50443248: Frozen precocious corn

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

UNSPSC 50443248 Frozen precocious corn is a Commodity code that classifies early-season frozen corn products sourced and distributed by state and local institutions, primarily correctional facilities, schools, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and senior services agencies. The code sees active procurement across institutional feeding operations, where jurisdictions source frozen corn alongside broader fresh and frozen vegetable portfolios to meet nutrition program requirements and budgetary constraints.

State corrections departments and health and human services agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, notably Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice, alongside school districts in Georgia, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania and county correctional facilities. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple frozen vegetable solicitations in recent months, including line items for frozen corn quantities ranging from 40,000 to 80,000 pounds per procurement cycle. Georgia Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ, Illinois Department of Human Services (Veterans Home at Quincy), and multiple Georgia school districts (Early County, Burke County, Ben Hill County) also appear across the recent opportunity block. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017451 for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen corn (bids due July 24, 2026), Oregon's earlier ITB S2910000017692 requesting 80,000 pounds of frozen corn as part of a 360,000-pound assorted frozen vegetable procurement (bids due August 20, 2026), Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017338 for frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers with estimated annual volume around $9 million (bids due August 18, 2026), and Illinois Chief Procurement Office's brand-or-equal proposal for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for the fourth quarter FY-27 (proposals due August 24, 2026).
