UNSPSC 50463244: Canned or jarred pearl white corn

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

UNSPSC 50463244 Canned or jarred pearl white corn, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of shelf-stable corn products by state and local food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect purchases of individual canned and jarred vegetables—including corn alongside tomatoes, mixed produce, and broader food supplies—for institutional food service at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, veterans' homes, and school districts. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments (corrections, health and human services, veterans affairs) and school districts (independent districts and cooperative consortia). School nutrition programs represent the largest concentration of recent activity, with solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), alongside purchases by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois Veterans Home.

Geographically, the recent-opportunities block shows procurement activity concentrated in Georgia (multiple school districts), Texas (state health agencies and TDCJ), Oregon (state corrections), Missouri (school district), Virginia (school district), and Illinois (state veteran facility). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (solicitation S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) specifying USDA Grade B or better with sodium limits and 12-month shelf life; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items with firm fixed unit-rate pricing; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products under Buy American provisions with delivery to four school locations (PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens across the county. Across these solicitations, state and local buyers emphasize USDA grade compliance, sodium content limits, minimum shelf life of 12 months, firm fixed pricing on FOB Destination terms, weekly or scheduled delivery to multiple school or facility locations, and compliance with Buy American Act requirements where applicable. School districts typically allow price redetermination annually or semi-annually based on USDA market indices or Consumer Price Index adjustments, while state agencies often require single comprehensive awards across hundreds of line items with pricing remaining firm through the initial contract term.
