UNSPSC 50463224: Canned or jarred golden cross bantam corn

The variety of corn known as golden cross bantam corn that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463224 Canned or jarred golden cross bantam corn, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within canned vegetable procurement that state and local governments buy primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. State and local solicitations under this code show purchasing concentrated in child nutrition operations, particularly school districts and departments serving congregate meals, with occasional activity from corrections departments and health and human services facilities. The work being solicited involves procurement of canned corn products meeting USDA quality grades, sodium content limits, shelf-life requirements, and packaging specifications for bulk food service delivery.

The issuing-body mix reflects heavy school-district participation, including 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), and Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), alongside state-level institutional buyers such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the State of Illinois Veterans Homes, and the Oregon Department of Corrections. Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with school nutrition contracts dominating the activity. Representative recent solicitations include Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response date July 13, 2026), the State of Illinois RFQ for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home Quincy (response date February 24, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (response date April 27, 2026, with estimated annual value of substantial scope given the school district's size). Canned corn typically appears as one line item within broader grocery or commodity solicitations rather than as a standalone product RFP, embedded in competitive bid packages that include dozens or hundreds of food products with firm fixed pricing, quarterly or monthly price adjustments tied to USDA or consumer price indices, and delivery requirements ranging from weekly to as-needed based on operational demand.
