UNSPSC 50463216: Canned or jarred dazzle corn

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

UNSPSC 50463216 Canned or jarred dazzle corn is a Commodity code that sees active procurement across state institutional foodservice operations, school nutrition programs, and state agency facilities. State and local governments buy canned and jarred corn products—typically USDA Grade B or better, often with sodium restrictions and extended shelf-life requirements—for cafeteria and institutional meal service. Recent solicitations show school districts, state corrections departments, and state health and human services agencies issuing IFBs, RFQs, and RFPs for weekly or quarterly food supply that explicitly reference canned vegetables as line items within larger food product portfolios. Issuing bodies span school districts (including Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County in Virginia, Liberty County in Georgia, Burke County in Georgia, Ben Hill County in Georgia, and Muscogee County in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home). The code activity reflects institutional foodservice procurement where canned goods anchor stable, shelf-stable inventory alongside fresh produce, proteins, and prepared entrees.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois) and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITBs for canned tomatoes (S2910000016405, due Apr 6, 2026, and S2910000015837, due Feb 9, 2026) specifying approximately 7,616 cases with USDA Grade B or better, sodium limits of 240 mg per 100 grams, and 12-month shelf life, awarded to lowest responsive bidders; the prior purchase was $14.30 per case for whole tomatoes from Highland Wholesale. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food and consumable products including canned goods under IFB HHS0017449 (due Jul 13, 2026) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with estimated historical value of $1.5 million, and under supplemental food IFBs HHS0016792 and HHS0016792V2 covering state hospitals and supported living centers with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. School district RFPs in Georgia—including Liberty County Board of Education (due Apr 29, 2026) and Muscogee County (produce-focused, ITB 26-017, due Apr 27, 2026)—commonly embed canned vegetables within broader grocery or produce line-item structures. Solicitations use standard state and local forms (IFB, RFP, RFQ), require firm fixed pricing, include Buy American or domestic-agriculture provisions, and award on lowest responsive bid or best value; contract terms run 12 months with renewal options, and payment is typically Net 30 to Net 40 post-delivery.
