UNSPSC 50463209: Canned or jarred butter and sugar corn

The variety of corn known as butter & sugar corn that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463209 Canned or jarred butter and sugar corn is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of preserved corn products — specifically canned and jarred corn varieties — for institutional food service and nutrition programs. The code draws heavily from school district nutrition services, which represent the largest and most consistent buyer category, complemented by state health and human services agencies procuring for hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show corn products appearing as line items within broader grocery and food service procurements rather than as standalone specialty purchases; the code reflects commodity-level buying within multiline IFBs and RFPs that also include produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods. Issuing bodies span K–12 school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Rockwood School District in Missouri; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school systems.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent opportunities posted from Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ procurements), Georgia (five school district and regional cooperative solicitations), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive food products including canned vegetables (bids due June 15, 2026), the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (proposals due March 4, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools with firm pricing across 76-plus line items (bids due April 27, 2026). School district procurements typically run July 1 through June 30 annually, follow formal IFB or RFP processes with sealed bidding, require firm fixed pricing for the initial term with permitted midterm adjustments tied to manufacturer price increases or USDA market indices, mandate Buy American compliance, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders. All recent opportunities require comprehensive compliance documentation including liability insurance (typically $1 million per occurrence minimum), debarment certifications, HACCP plans, and E-Verify authorization.
