UNSPSC 50443259: Frozen snowbelle corn

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

UNSPSC 50443259 Frozen snowbelle corn, a Commodity code, names a specific frozen vegetable product that state and local governments buy primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and senior services. The recent opportunities show that frozen corn appears as one line item within much broader frozen-vegetable and food-service procurements rather than as a standalone commodity purchase. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Human Services), counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Montgomery County Pennsylvania), school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), and other state-supported institutions (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). No single issuer dominates; activity is distributed across multiple states and institution types, with repeat activity visible in Texas institutional food service and Oregon correctional-system procurement.

The geographic spread is concentrated in Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, with the most recent activity appearing in Texas (HHSC frozen-food contracts spanning multiple state hospitals and living centers with estimated annual volumes around $9 million) and Oregon (Department of Corrections frozen-vegetable bids including specific corn line items at 40,000 to 80,000 pounds). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 for frozen corn vegetables (40,000 pounds, July 24, 2026 response date), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017338 for frozen food products to state hospitals and living centers (106 line items including frozen vegetables, August 18, 2026 response date, estimated $9 million annual volume), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 requesting approximately 1,062 cases of mixed food items including canned vegetables for senior services (October 19, 2026 response date). Frozen corn competes within larger food-commodity bundles where price per pound, shelf-life compliance, temperature maintenance, delivery schedule reliability, and USDA/FDA standards compliance drive vendor selection; standalone frozen-corn procurements are less common than bundled frozen-vegetable or comprehensive food-service contracts.
