UNSPSC 50463223: Canned or jarred excel corn

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

UNSPSC 50463223 Canned or jarred excel corn, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable corn products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and correctional and state health facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies purchasing canned corn as one line item within broader food supply RFPs and IFBs, typically bundled with dozens or hundreds of other canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and staple items for cafeteria and dining operations. The issuing-body mix reflects heavy participation by school districts—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—alongside state agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), and Georgia Department of Human Services. Canned corn appears as one specification among 60 to 900+ line items per solicitation, with estimated annual volumes ranging from modest case quantities to thousands of cases annually depending on school size and facility population.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon based on recent postings from February through June 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supplying the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories with bids due June 15, 2026; Burke County Public Schools' sealed-bid food procurement with bids due June 5, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 distribution to 45 schools with sealed bids due April 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (a comparable canned-vegetable procurement) with bids due June 19, 2026. These solicitations typically use IFB or ITB notice types with firm fixed pricing, Buy American Act compliance, USDA-grade specifications, and delivery to multiple school or facility sites. Canned corn competes as a commodity item within these broad food-supply contracts; vendors typically bid line-item pricing within larger grocery procurements that award on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value across a vendor's full product and service offering.
