UNSPSC 50453220: Frozen organic double gem corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic double gem corn that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453220 Frozen organic double gem corn is a Commodity code representing a single produce item—frozen organic sweet corn—that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that frozen corn sits within broader food-service procurement vehicles where it appears as a line item within larger frozen-produce or grocery-goods contracts, but the code itself sees limited standalone activity. The issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts—Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District—supplemented by state purchasing on behalf of operational food services. Work solicited under this code encompasses line-item bids for frozen vegetables (including frozen corn varieties) bundled alongside fresh produce, dairy, meats, and prepared items to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. Vendors must meet HACCP food safety compliance, maintain minimum general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 depending on jurisdiction), comply with Buy American provisions and E-Verify requirements, and deliver to school sites on specified schedules. Contract periods are typically July 1 through June 30 of the following year with optional extension and renewal terms.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary representation in Texas. The State of Georgia itself solicits broadly across food supply (RFP PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026, and IFB PE68504NONST2026000000006 for fresh produce, due May 27, 2026), while the Douglas County School System coordinates cooperative-purchasing vehicles serving 30 Georgia school districts (RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs, due March 4, 2026; and RFP 26-003 for main-line food distribution, due February 18, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $9 million and $4.4 million respectively). Individual school districts in Georgia—Decatur (IFB due May 15, 2026) and Savannah-Chatham (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026)—issue separate frozen-foods and fresh-produce contracts. Rockwood School District in Missouri solicited grocery items covering over 900 line items with electronic bid submission due April 29, 2026, and Dallas ISD issued RFP JC250079 for supplemental food products due April 2, 2026. Frozen corn competes within larger commodity bundles rather than as a standalone procurement, and recent opportunities do not isolate this specific item as a principal focus of current bid activity.
