UNSPSC 50463231: Canned or jarred incredible corn

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

UNSPSC 50463231 Canned or jarred incredible corn is a Commodity code capturing single canned vegetable products that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional and health services facilities. The code sees active procurement across multiple issuing-body types — school districts dominate the recent solicitation record (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), alongside Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities (state supported living centers and state hospitals), Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and county-level school nutrition programs. The specific work under this code consists of canned or jarred vegetables — primarily tomatoes, corn, and related products — procured in bulk case quantities (ranging from hundreds to thousands of cases annually) for cafeteria meal preparation, with specifications typically requiring USDA Grade B or better, sodium limits (often 240 mg or less per 100 grams), minimum 12-month shelf life, and compliance with Buy American Act requirements where applicable.

Geographic spread concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, with multiple school districts and county systems) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), with secondary activity in Texas (HHS Commission), Illinois (Veterans Home), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools).
