UNSPSC 50463211: Canned or jarred camelot corn

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

UNSPSC 50463211 Canned or jarred camelot corn, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity among state and local jurisdictions; when tagged under this code, opportunities typically involve institutional food service supply for schools, correctional facilities, and state health and human services agencies purchasing canned vegetable products as components of broader food procurement contracts. The code appears most frequently as one line item within larger composite food solicitations rather than as a standalone commodity, reflecting purchasing patterns where canned corn competes alongside canned tomatoes, other vegetables, and prepared foods within master grocery or food supply contracts. Issuing bodies span school districts (elementary through high schools), state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and county school systems, with school nutrition programs representing the largest share of recent activity. Geographic clustering shows heaviest recent activity in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, driven by large school district procurements and state facility food service contracts.

Recent opportunities bundling canned corn within broader food solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior historical value of $1.5 million for the prior contract year), the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery items solicitation (due April 29, 2026, with over 900 line items across multiple categories), and the Ben Hill County Schools food bid (due June 15, 2026, covering fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and canned goods). The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued separate solicitations for canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026, seeking 7,616 cases), signaling that individual canned-vegetable procurement occurs when volume justifies dedicated line items. Pricing on canned vegetables in these contracts typically remains firm for the contract period with adjustments permitted only at renewal, and bidders must meet USDA Grade B or better standards, FDA compliance, sodium limits not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams, and minimum twelve-month shelf life requirements. Most school district and facility solicitations evaluate bids on lowest responsive and responsible pricing with evaluation of vendor qualifications, past performance, and ability to meet delivery timelines, typically to elementary through high school cafeterias, state correctional facilities, or state health facilities across multiple delivery points.
