UNSPSC 50443264: Frozen sugar snow corn

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

UNSPSC 50443264 Frozen sugar snow corn, a Commodity code, sees state and local demand primarily from institutional food service buyers—correctional facilities, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, and school districts—seeking bulk frozen vegetable products for cafeteria operations and inmate or patient meals. The code's nominal scope (frozen corn prepared as a dessert or snack product) diverges significantly from what is actually being procured; recent solicitations show frozen corn bought as a general frozen vegetable staple for institutional kitchens rather than as a specialty snack item, often bundled with broader frozen vegetable assortments, mixed vegetables, and commodity proteins under single RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices.

State and local issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for state hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections, Montgomery County and Gwinnett County (Georgia and Pennsylvania), school districts including Burke County Public Schools and Early County Schools (both Georgia), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas HHSC appear as repeat buyers, each posting multiple frozen vegetable solicitations between May and August 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections solicitations (S2910000017451 for frozen corn, S2910000017692 for assorted frozen vegetables) closed in July 2026 under ITB with Oregon state processing and resident-bidder preferences (combined 10 percent); Texas HHSC issued multiple IFB notices for frozen products and comprehensive food service groceries, including HHS0017338V1 (frozen food products, 106 line items, estimated $9 million annually) due August 18, 2026, and HHS0017799 (frozen vegetables among broader food service items, FY-27 contract, historical value $158,000) due August 25, 2026. Gwinnett County (Georgia) posted IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable and frozen food items due October 19, 2026; Burke County Schools (Georgia) sought nearly 400 line items including frozen vegetables for five schools, bids due June 5, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary solicitations from Pennsylvania, Illinois, Connecticut, New Jersey, and other states. Geographic spread and issuing-body concentration suggest steady but fragmented demand driven by state-level food purchasing for corrections and health and human services, supplemented by county and school-district institutional food service buys.
