UNSPSC 50443260: Frozen spring snow corn

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

UNSPSC 50443260 Frozen spring snow corn, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within the institutional food service market, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct demand tagged to this specific code. The opportunities posted under this code predominantly procure frozen vegetables as part of broader grocery and food service packages rather than frozen corn as a standalone item. When frozen corn appears in recent state and local RFPs and IFBs, it is typically bundled within larger frozen vegetable line items or general food procurement categories. The issuing bodies soliciting food products—including state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, school districts, and county governments—treat frozen corn as a commodity input for institutional kitchens serving correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and senior services rather than as a specialized procurement category. Repeat buyers include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and New Jersey.

Recent activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs in July 2026 for frozen corn (40,000 pounds) as part of a broader frozen vegetable procurement (S2910000017451), with pricing referenced at $0.498 per pound from a prior August 2025 purchase, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs between May and August 2026 for frozen food products serving state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide, with estimated annual volumes reaching $9 million across frozen specialty items. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and canned food items, though this opportunity appears misclassified under the frozen corn code and does not reflect actual frozen corn procurement. School districts in Georgia (Burke County, Early County, Ben Hill County) and Connecticut (Bridgeport) issued food bids in May and June 2026 encompassing frozen vegetables within broader meal-service portfolios, with Buy American requirements and USDA nutrition compliance mandated throughout. Bidders pursuing this code should recognize that frozen corn procurement rarely stands alone; success typically requires positioning corn supply within a broadline frozen-vegetable or general food-service vendor strategy targeting institutional customers with volume requirements and recurring ordering patterns.
