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, represents a narrow product line within institutional food procurement. State and local governments buy this specific frozen corn variety primarily for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and senior services programs. Recent solicitations show frozen corn appearing as a line item within broader frozen vegetable or cafeteria food product procurements rather than as standalone single-commodity buys, though the Oregon Department of Corrections has issued targeted ITBs for frozen corn volumes of 40,000 pounds or more. The work involves sourcing USDA-compliant, FDA-certified frozen whole kernel corn with specified shelf life and temperature maintenance requirements, typically quoted per pound with delivery FOB destination and palletization to central distribution facilities. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections), county correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), school districts (Burke County, Early County, and Ben Hill County in Georgia; Bridgeport and other Connecticut schools), and state supported living centers across multiple states. Oregon and Texas are standout repeat buyers in recent postings, with Oregon issuing multiple frozen vegetable ITBs that include corn as a component and Texas issuing comprehensive frozen food procurements for state hospitals and supported living centers.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Connecticut based on recent opportunities. Oregon Department of Corrections posted an ITB for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, approximately $0.498 per pound historical pricing) with a July 24, 2026 response date; the same agency bid assorted frozen vegetables including corn (80,000 pounds at $0.578–$0.67 per pound range) on August 20, 2026. Texas HHSC released multiple frozen food procurements totaling estimated annual volume around $9 million across state hospitals and supported living centers, with responses due in August 2026. Gwinnett County, Georgia (October 19, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia (June 15, 2026) issued food procurement RFQs and IFBs respectively that encompassed frozen vegetables including corn as line items within larger grocery purchases. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania issued an IFB for groceries, meats, cereals, and paper products (September 30, 2026 response) to the county correctional facility. The code shows consistent activity but remains embedded within broader frozen vegetable or institutional food service categories rather than appearing as a standalone procurement vehicle, signaling that isolated pursuit of this commodity alone is likely inefficient; bidders should target multi-item frozen vegetable or cafeteria food contracts where corn appears as a substantial line item.
