UNSPSC 50463246: Canned or jarred phenomenal corn

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

UNSPSC 50463246 Canned or jarred phenomenal corn, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable vegetable products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service contracts for institutional feeding operations—primarily cafeteria, canteen, and food-distribution programs at state facilities, schools, and correctional institutions. The work solicited under this code spans purchasing canned vegetables (including canned corn, tomatoes, and mixed vegetables) as line items within larger food procurement bids that also encompass proteins, dairy, dry goods, and food service supplies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of commissioners, city and county school nutrition programs, and state correctional and institutional-care operators. Repeat buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which has issued multiple solicitations for supplemental food and consumable products to state hospitals and state supported living centers, and several Georgia and Texas school districts procuring annual comprehensive food bids for cafeteria operations.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables under IFB HHS0016792V2 in May 2026, encompassing 210 line items with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 with a previous purchase price of $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest and delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem.
