UNSPSC 50463230: Canned or jarred illini xtra sweet corn

The variety of corn known as illini xtra sweet corn that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463230 Canned or jarred illini xtra sweet corn, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables for institutional food service operations, including school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services residential centers, and state veterans homes. The recent solicitations show a concentration on volume food procurement by school districts and state agencies, where canned corn appears as one line item within broader food supply contracts rather than as a standalone commodity purchase; institutions typically source canned vegetables as part of comprehensive grocery or food service bids that span hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), and state correctional and supported-living facilities. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, accounting for roughly two-thirds of the visible opportunities, with state facilities (prisons, veterans homes, health centers) making up the remainder.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans at least six states: Georgia (multiple school districts), Texas (HHSC facilities and TDCJ), Oregon (corrections), Illinois (veterans home), Missouri (Rockwood schools), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Recent representative solicitations include Rockwood R-VI School District's IFB for Grocery Items 2026-2027 (RFQ, bids due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items including canned goods; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB, proposals due July 13, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time) covering NIGP food classes with estimated historical volume of $1.5 million for the prior period; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, sealed bids due April 27, 2026) serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid (IFB, bids due June 15, 2026) encompassing multiple food categories across four school locations. Canned vegetables typically carry Buy American requirements, USDA grade compliance, and firm-fixed pricing with limited midterm adjustment rights tied to documented manufacturer price changes or consumer price index movements, and vendors must meet general liability insurance thresholds ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence depending on the issuing body's risk profile.
