UNSPSC 50463220: Canned or jarred double gem corn

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

UNSPSC 50463220 Canned or jarred double gem corn, a Commodity code, covers canned or jarred corn products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show demand concentrated in school district child nutrition procurement, particularly for multi-line-item food supply contracts that include canned vegetables as component ingredients alongside fresh produce, proteins, and prepared entrees. State and local institutions including school districts, state departments of corrections, and health and human services agencies issue these solicitations; school nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts soliciting comprehensive annual food contracts in which canned corn appears as one line item among hundreds.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast—Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission state-supported living centers), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District)—alongside activity in Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for state-supported living center food supply with historical spend of $1.5 million annually; Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive IFB for food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026); and Rockwood R-VI School District's dual grocery procurement covering over 900 line items for the 2026-27 school year (due April 29, 2026). Most school district procurements use IFB notice type with annual contract terms running July 1 through June 30, firm fixed pricing for the initial period, and allowance for midterm adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indices when manufacturer costs rise. Buy American Act compliance, HACCP plan requirements, and minimum shelf-life specifications (typically twelve months) appear consistently across all recent solicitations.
