UNSPSC 50443262: Frozen sugar and gold corn

The variety of corn known as sugar & gold corn that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443262 Frozen sugar and gold corn, a Commodity code, encompasses frozen corn and similar frozen vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—particularly corrections facilities and school districts. The code sees active solicitation activity across corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and health and human services agencies that feed resident or student populations at scale. Recent opportunities show frozen corn and assorted frozen vegetables being purchased in truckload quantities by the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple state supported living centers, with pricing typically ranging from $0.30 to $0.67 per pound depending on product variety and packaging. School districts and county boards of education solicit frozen vegetables as part of larger grocery or produce contracts that span hundreds of line items; frozen corn appears as one category within comprehensive National School Lunch Program and Child Nutrition Program procurement bundles rather than as a standalone item in most K-12 activity.

Issuing bodies lean heavily toward state corrections agencies, state health and human services departments operating facilities for vulnerable populations, and school districts managing child nutrition services. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple recent solicitations for frozen vegetables including corn, frozen carrots, and assorted blends under ITB notices with FOB-destination delivery to central distribution centers in Salem. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, solicits frozen food products—including proteins and specialty entrees alongside vegetables—for multiple warehouse locations across five geographic regions. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Department of State Health Services jointly procure supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, with 210-line-item solicitations encompassing frozen specialty foods and mixed vegetables. School districts in Georgia (Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, Decatur City Schools) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) procure frozen vegetables as components of larger grocery or produce bids serving 5 to 32 schools, typically 100 to 400+ line items per solicitation. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, and New Jersey. Recent representative solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 for 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel corn due July 24, 2026, with previous pricing at $0.498 per pound; Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB 304T-26-300CF encompassing approximately 382 line items including frozen corn and specialty entrees, due May 4, 2026; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items including frozen vegetables, initially due February 16, 2026, extended to February 23, 2026. School district solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026, and Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution due February 18, 2026, serving 25,500 to 45,000+ students with estimated annual expenditures ranging from $4.4 million to $9 million.
