UNSPSC 50463228: Canned or jarred hudson corn

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

UNSPSC 50463228 Canned or jarred hudson corn, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables—primarily canned tomatoes and tomato products in recent solicitations, with secondary activity in canned corn and other canned goods for institutional food service. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies operating cafeterias, nutrition programs, and institutional facilities; school nutrition programs in Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas dominate recent activity, alongside state departments of corrections in Oregon and health and human services agencies in Texas and Illinois. The work solicited ranges from single-item buys (canned tomato varieties at ODOC) to broad grocery commodity baskets serving tens of thousands of daily meals (Douglas County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Ben Hill County Schools). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole) with a due date of February 9, 2026, requiring USDA Grade B or better and FOB Destination delivery to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables (including canned goods) for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a response deadline of February 23, 2026; and the Ben Hill County Schools issuing an IFB for a comprehensive food procurement encompassing multiple canned vegetable and fruit items for four school locations, due June 15, 2026.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (multiple school districts including Burke County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, and Muscogee County) and Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, and school districts), with active procurement also in Oregon (ODOC), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Illinois (state veterans homes). Response deadlines cluster in the late winter and spring months (January through June 2026), with contract performance periods typically running July 1 through June 30 to align with school fiscal years. Buy American requirements appear consistently across school-based solicitations, and pricing structures range from firm fixed price throughout the contract term to allowances for cost-of-goods adjustments tied to USDA market indices or Consumer Price Index data. Most contracts favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders but reserve the right to award to multiple vendors on a line-item basis to optimize total cost and product quality across categories.
