UNSPSC 50443250: Frozen quickie corn

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

UNSPSC 50443250 Frozen quickie corn, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within institutional food procurement where state and local governments purchase prepared frozen corn products for cafeteria, correctional facility, and state agency food service operations. The code sees activity primarily through school districts, state correctional and health agencies, and county detention facilities procuring frozen corn as a component of larger food service contracts rather than as a standalone line item. Recent solicitations show frozen corn embedded within broader frozen vegetable and institutional food supply procurements—the Oregon Department of Corrections issued separate ITBs for frozen corn (40,000 pounds at approximately $0.498 per pound historical pricing) and assorted frozen vegetables including corn (80,000 pounds as part of a 360,000-pound mixed vegetable award), while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice included frozen corn and corn products (such as frozen corn dogs) within large statewide cafeteria food and frozen specialty entree solicitations serving state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional facilities. School nutrition programs across Georgia and Pennsylvania similarly procure frozen corn within comprehensive food bids supporting National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania and other states operating large institutional food service operations. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) appears as a repeat buyer, issuing separate frozen vegetable ITBs in July and August 2026 with FOB destination delivery to Salem, Oregon, combined Oregon-sourced and resident-bidder preferences totaling up to ten percent, and historical awards to Alpine Food Group and JNS Foods. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 (40,000 pounds of frozen corn, bids due July 24, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017338 for frozen food products including corn items serving 18 qualified ordering entities across Texas (approximately $9 million estimated annual volume, bids due August 18, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products including frozen corn dogs and specialty entrees across five geographic warehouse areas (bids due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). Bidders must comply with USDA/FDA standards, maintain minimum shelf life (typically six months), deliver FOB destination at specified temperatures, and submit pricing per pound or per unit with all transportation and fuel charges embedded; Oregon and Texas procurements both emphasize compliance with state preference programs where applicable.
