UNSPSC 50463207: Canned or jarred biqueen corn

The variety of corn known as biqueen corn that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463207 Canned or jarred biqueen corn (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within frozen and canned vegetable procurement that state and local governments source primarily through school nutrition programs and state facilities such as correctional institutions and supported living centers. The code sees activity from school districts conducting annual food service solicitations, state health and human services agencies supplying institutional populations, and corrections departments managing dietary programs across multiple distribution points. The market for this specific item is thin relative to broader canned vegetable procurement — recent opportunities tag generic canned tomato, canned vegetable, and fresh produce contracts far more frequently than biqueen corn specifically, indicating the commodity is purchased as one line item within larger food baskets rather than as a standalone procurement focus.

Recent state and local activity clusters in Georgia school districts, Texas state health facilities, Oregon corrections, Illinois veterans homes, and Missouri school nutrition programs, with the most visible volume in large multi-school district RFPs covering dozens of food line items annually. Representative opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) issuing an IFB for school nutrition food products under contract year FY 26-27 with bids due June 15, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to serve the El Paso State Supported Living Center with bids due July 13, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases) with bids due June 19, 2026; and Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs supporting 30 school districts with proposals due March 4, 2026. The code does not trigger standalone biqueen corn solicitations; vendors pursuing this category should monitor broader school nutrition and institutional food service RFPs where canned corn varieties appear as line items within 300-to-900-item food baskets and bundle pricing structures. Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, and minimum shelf-life specifications (typically 12 months) are standard across recent solicitations in this space.
