UNSPSC 50453258: Frozen organic silver queen corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic silver queen corn that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453258 Frozen organic silver queen corn, a Commodity code, sits within a broader market where state and local governments procure school nutrition and foodservice products for child nutrition programs, general institutional food supply, and district-wide meal provision. Recent solicitations under this code show that state and local buyers are acquiring comprehensive foodservice packages—fresh produce, frozen and shelf-stable grocery items, dairy, proteins, and specialty products—to support National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and general institutional feeding. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies, including the Douglas County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas); state governments (Georgia) also appear as direct buyers of food and produce. The work encompasses line-item or lot-based competitive bidding for food commodity supply, with vendors typically required to maintain HACCP plans, food recall capabilities, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 in general liability), E-Verify compliance, Buy American documentation, and fixed pricing for the contract term (typically July 1 through June 30 of the following year). Districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, and products free of artificial additives, with delivery to multiple school sites typically Monday through Friday during morning and early-afternoon windows and temperature-controlled handling requirements for perishables.

Recent solicitations span Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (estimated $9 million annually across 32 schools, sealed proposals due February 18, 2026), the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas (estimated $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026), the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid covering 300+ food items and 60 non-food products for three schools (due June 8, 2026), the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items supporting the 2026-2027 school year (sealed bids due May 15, 2026, with optional pre-bid conference April 29, 2026), Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products including specialty spice and ice cream lots (due April 2, 2026), and the State of Georgia's general procurement for food, supplies, and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). No set-asides specific to disadvantaged enterprises are named in these solicitations, though some districts (City Schools of Decatur, Dallas ISD) reference commitment to minority and women-owned business enterprise participation or general diversity encouragement.
