UNSPSC 50463213: Canned or jarred champ corn

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

UNSPSC 50463213 Canned or jarred champ corn is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables—specifically champ corn and related canned produce—purchased by state and local governments to supply institutional food service operations including state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, school districts, and county social service programs. State and local buyers procure canned vegetables as part of larger consumable food contracts that also include frozen proteins, dairy products, condiments, and food service supplies; the code sees activity across state departments (health and human services commissions, departments of corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), and specialized state facilities (state supported living centers, state hospitals). Buyers typically source canned vegetables through competitive sealed bids or informal written quotes issued as part of comprehensive annual food service contracts, with USDA Grade B or better standards, shelf-life minimums of 12 months, sodium content restrictions (commonly not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams), and FDA/USDA compliance required across the board.

Recent procurement activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods serving state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso (due dates October 23, 2026, and July 13, 2026, respectively), each encompassing 20 line items of canned and fresh produce alongside prepared foods and food service supplies with annual deliveries to state facilities. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) due October 19, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services' senior services program. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (a related canned vegetable product) due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent. Burke County Public Schools and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia each posted comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 covering hundreds of line items including canned fruits and vegetables; these contracts run through June 2027 with quarterly price adjustments permitted based on USDA Agricultural Marketing Service data. Canned corn and similar shelf-stable vegetables typically represent one to five line items within these larger food procurement bundles rather than standalone purchases, with case quantities ranging from single-digit annual orders to thousands of cases depending on facility size and census.
