UNSPSC 50443267: Frozen terminator corn

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

UNSPSC 50443267 Frozen terminator corn, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of frozen whole-kernel corn and related frozen vegetable products for institutional food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code are purchasing bagged or bulk frozen corn in bulk quantities—typically 40,000 to 120,000 pounds per procurement—for correctional facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and other institutional kitchens. The work involves supply and delivery of FDA/USDA-compliant frozen vegetables meeting specific grade, packaging, shelf-life, and temperature standards. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county facilities (Montgomery County Correctional Facility), school districts (Fairfax County, Decatur City Schools, Rockwood R-VI, and multiple Georgia districts), and regional buying consortiums. Correctional systems and school nutrition programs dominate recent activity, reflecting high-volume institutional meal provision. Oregon Department of Corrections, in particular, appears multiple times as a repeat buyer of frozen vegetables across multiple product lines.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Southwest (Texas), and Southeast (Georgia), with secondary activity in the Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania) and Virginia. Recent representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 40,000 pounds of frozen whole-kernel sweet Golden or Yellow corn due July 24, 2026, at $0.498 per pound historical pricing; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (including frozen specialty foods) with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years; and multiple school district food bids incorporating frozen vegetables as line items within broader grocery procurements. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Burke County Public Schools all solicited frozen vegetables as part of school nutrition program line-item bids with deadlines between May and June 2026. The code shows steady activity driven by annual school calendar renewal (July 1 contract starts) and ongoing institutional meal service needs. Pricing in recent awards has ranged from $0.30 to $0.69 per pound depending on product type, cut, and case size, with delivery required within 30 to 45 days of order and minimum six-month shelf life at delivery standard across solicitations.
