UNSPSC 50463225: Canned or jarred honey and cream corn

The variety of corn known as honey & cream corn that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463225 Canned or jarred honey and cream corn is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable packaged produce and preserves that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations—correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services centers. The work solicited under this code involves supplying pre-packaged canned or jarred products to meet dietary and operational requirements across facilities serving vulnerable and dependent populations. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state-level procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and school district nutrition programs appear as repeat buyers in recent activity. The scope of procurement under this code is narrower than the abstract category name suggests; recent solicitations show that canned vegetables, canned proteins, and related shelf-stable foods are purchased as line items within broader food-service bids rather than as standalone commodity buys. Canned cream corn and honey appear as component items within multihundred-line-item food procurement bids that also include fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy, dry goods, and food service supplies—a pattern indicating that state and local buyers treat this Commodity code as part of an integrated institutional food-supply strategy rather than as a separate purchasing category.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso, with bids due October 23, 2026 (HHS0018082) and prior deadlines in June and August 2026; the Lufkin facility procurements explicitly include canned and jarred items alongside fresh and frozen components. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables and proteins due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 (S2910000017145), with Oregon-fabricated or -processed goods receiving a 5 percent preference and the previous purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia each solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids encompassing canned vegetables and fruits as line items, with responses due June 15 and June 5, 2026 respectively. Illinois issued a quarterly food-order bid (27497DVAQUINCB52821) due June 26, 2026, but the source provides insufficient detail on scope or line-item breakdown. Bid-to-award cycles typically run 30 to 60 days, with delivery requirements ranging from 72 hours to 30 days of order receipt and pricing structured on a per-case or per-unit basis with transportation prepaid and included. All recent solicitations require compliance with USDA standards, FDA labeling, Buy American provisions in school nutrition contexts, and state-specific debarment and E-Verify certifications.
