UNSPSC 50453204 Frozen organic argent corn (Commodity) captures shelf-stable and perishable food products that state and local governments procure for nutrition programs, senior services, and school meal operations. The recent solicitation activity shows state and local buyers acquiring not only frozen vegetables but also canned proteins, dairy products, bread, grains, condiments, and comprehensive food-service supplies under this code. Issuing bodies include county governments, state departments, and school districts; Gwinnett County and Early County Board of Education have both posted opportunities in the past six months. The work ranges from informal written quotes for case quantities to formal line-item bids with firm pricing, transportation, temperature-control, and compliance requirements (HACCP plans, Buy American provisions, E-Verify verification, debarment checks, and food-recall procedures for larger awards).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center due by December 7, 2026, quotes due October 19, 2026; award was based on lowest unit cost per ounce or equivalent, F.O.B. destination with inside delivery.

The State of Georgia also posted a broader food-supplies and kitchen-products bid in May 2026, though the detailed scope was contained in an attached document. Prices in school and county bids are firm for 15 to 30 days post-award, with escalation permitted thereafter on a six-month basis when supported by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data.
