UNSPSC 50443251: Frozen radiance corn

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

UNSPSC 50443251 Frozen radiance corn, a Commodity code, describes specialty frozen vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, public schools, and senior services programs. Recent solicitations show procurement departments buying frozen corn as part of broader food supply contracts, often bundled with other frozen vegetables, proteins, and groceries rather than as a standalone line item. The code draws activity from correctional systems, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and county nutrition programs across multiple states. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, county commissioners, boards of education, and county correctional authorities.

Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers. Oregon's Department of Corrections posted ITB S2910000017451 in July 2026 requesting approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel corn (frozen corn specifically) with delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem within 30 days of purchase order issuance, pricing at $0.498 per pound from the prior August 2025 award to Alpine Food. Texas HHSC issued IFB HHS0017338V1 in July 2026 for frozen food products across multiple state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, encompassing 106 line items of frozen foods including frozen corn and vegetables, with estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum potential contract value of $19 million over the full contract period, requesting delivery to 18 qualified ordering entities throughout Texas. Additional school district activity appears in Georgia and Connecticut: Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB in May 2026 for food products with a June 15 bid deadline covering fresh and frozen produce across four school locations, and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) posted a solicitation in May 2026 for nearly 400 food line items with a June 8 bid deadline for delivery to five schools. Geographic concentration centers on Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ procurements), Oregon (Department of Corrections recurring frozen vegetable purchases), and Georgia (multiple school district food bids). Activity also appears in Pennsylvania (Montgomery County Correctional Facility), Illinois (state veterans home), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), New Jersey (Department of Human Services frozen vegetable rebid), and other states represented in the school district and institutional food service market.
