UNSPSC 50443253: Frozen seneca dawn corn

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

UNSPSC 50443253 Frozen seneca dawn corn, a Commodity code, covers whole kernel frozen corn products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — primarily correctional facilities, school districts, and state health and human services facilities. The code sees steady activity from purchasing divisions at departments of corrections, school nutrition programs, and health and human services agencies managing large-scale food distribution. State and local buyers under this code solicit frozen corn as a component of broader vegetable procurement portfolios, typically bundled with other frozen produce or integrated into comprehensive food service contracts serving inmate and student populations.

Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division has posted the most recent activity, soliciting approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel corn (Solicitation S2910000017451, ITB, due July 24, 2026), with delivery FOB destination to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem and pricing at $0.498 per pound from the prior August 2025 award to Alpine Food. Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission have also issued competing procurements for frozen vegetables and food products that include corn items as line-item options within larger institutional food supply contracts. Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon (multiple ODOC solicitations), Texas (TDCJ and HHSC), and select Georgia school districts, with lesser activity in other states. The code shows material procurement frequency in the Pacific Northwest and South, driven by state correctional and school nutrition programs seeking reliable frozen commodity supplies on recurring cycles. Responses typically address FDA/USDA compliance, six-month minimum shelf life, proper packaging with nutritional labels and best-use-by dates, and firm fixed pricing quoted per pound inclusive of all transportation and fuel charges on FOB destination terms.
