UNSPSC 50463200: Canned or jarred corn

The type of vegetable known as corn that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463200 Canned or jarred corn, a Class code, covers shelf-stable canned and jarred corn products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and county departments of community services. Recent solicitations show demand for both standalone canned corn items and bulk food procurement that includes corn among dozens of line items spanning proteins, vegetables, dairy, and consumables. The issuing-body mix spans state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, county boards of commissioners, county boards of education and school districts, and county senior services divisions across multiple states. Contracts typically call for USDA Grade B or better quality, firm fixed unit pricing on FOB Destination terms with freight and delivery included, and delivery within 7 to 30 days of order receipt to single or multiple delivery points. Vendors must meet federal food safety, labeling, and shelf-life standards, provide three references, carry liability insurance, and comply with E-Verify and debarment certification requirements.
