UNSPSC 50443254: Frozen seneca horizon corn

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

UNSPSC 50443254 Frozen seneca horizon corn, a Commodity code, describes frozen whole-kernel corn products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations at correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and school districts. The code sees activity across corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and school nutrition programs, which collectively represent the bulk of recent solicitations. State and local buyers use this code primarily for high-volume frozen corn purchases to support cafeteria operations, with specifications emphasizing USDA/FDA compliance, minimum shelf-life requirements (typically six months), and competitive per-pound pricing delivered FOB destination.

Recent opportunities reflect concentrated activity in the Pacific Northwest and Texas, with notable solicitations from the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts across Georgia and Missouri. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S2910000017451 on July 10, 2026, seeking approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel corn with bids due July 24, 2026 at $0.498 per pound (the reference price from an August 2025 purchase from Alpine Food); the same agency has posted multiple frozen vegetable solicitations over the past six months emphasizing Oregon-vendor preferences (5% preference for Oregon fabrication, 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 (posted February 26, 2026, due March 19, 2026, with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years) encompasses 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables including frozen specialty foods across 23 state facilities statewide, requiring bidders to respond to a minimum of 95 percent of items. School districts in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Georgia (Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham County), and other jurisdictions have posted comprehensive food procurement solicitations between March and June 2026 that frequently include frozen vegetables as line items within larger Master Grocery or School Nutrition programs. Correctional and state health facility contracts dominate by volume and frequency; school district activity shows consistent quarterly bidding cycles aligned with fiscal-year procurement timelines. The code shows steady activity but no dominant single buyer or geographic region—solicitation volume is distributed across state corrections systems (Oregon, Texas), health and human services agencies (Texas), and dispersed school districts nationwide, with no evidence of consolidation or incumbent-dominated procurement patterns.
