UNSPSC 50463238: Canned or jarred maple sweet corn

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

UNSPSC 50463238 Canned or jarred maple sweet corn, a Commodity code, represents a narrow segment of state and local food procurement, but recent solicitations show it sits within much broader consumable-food buys that state and local agencies actually execute across food service, institutional feeding, and school nutrition programs. The code's nominal scope — canned or jarred maple sweet corn specifically — does not align with what is being solicited; state and local governments buying under food-related UNSPSC codes are acquiring multi-item consumable-food portfolios including shelf-stable proteins, grains, vegetables, dairy, and kitchen supplies rather than single-product line items. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia and Texas school districts, and state institutional-care facilities (state supported living centers, state hospitals) dominate recent issuers under food-commodity codes in this family. These buyers source through IFB and IWQ notices ranging from dozens to hundreds of line items per solicitation, with annual contract values reaching into the millions where disclosed (the Texas HHS El Paso State Supported Living Center procurement carried a prior-period value of $1.5 million; the HHS supplemental food and consumables contract for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide reached a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted at least three major food-service IFBs since June 2026, including HHS0017872 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due August 25, 2026), HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables, due July 13, 2026), and HHS0018082 (Lufkin campus canteen foods, due October 23, 2026). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026)—and Gwinnett County (IWQ 140229 for shelf-stable items including canned vegetables, due October 19, 2026) have issued comparable requests. Oregon's Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes under S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026, with prior purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest), and Illinois posted an IFB for quarterly food orders (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026). While the code itself targets maple sweet corn specifically, vendors pursuing these opportunities must stock and price complete shelf-stable vegetable and protein lines; single-product specialization carries limited utility in this market.
