UNSPSC 50463247: Canned or jarred platinum lady corn

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

UNSPSC 50463247 Canned or jarred platinum lady corn, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service sourcing — typically bundled into larger grocery, produce, or meal-support contracts rather than as standalone line items. Recent solicitation activity shows school districts, correctional facilities, and state health agencies buying canned vegetables (including corn and tomato products) as components of child nutrition programs, institutional food service, and consumable supply chains. The code sees steady activity but rarely appears in isolation; instead, canned vegetables are priced and bid alongside dozens or hundreds of other food products in consolidated food service RFPs and IFBs. Issuing bodies include school districts (ranging from small rural districts to large urban systems), state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and state veterans homes. These jurisdictions consolidate food procurement across multiple schools, facilities, or regions in single solicitations, with awards often made to one or more primary vendors at the line-item or category level.

Geographic spread concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with activity also in Illinois and Missouri, reflecting both population density and established procurement cycles aligned with school-year food service planning. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato procurement (S2910000016089, ITB closed February 9, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases at historical pricing around $14.30 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables solicitation (HHS0016792, IFB with bid deadline March 19, 2026, spanning 210 line items including canned goods for state hospitals and supported living centers); and multiple school district grocery and produce RFPs from Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), each bundling hundreds of food line items with firm fixed pricing and multiple-year renewal options. Vendors responding to these solicitations typically quote unit prices on a per-case or per-pound basis, deliver FOB Destination with all freight prepaid, and maintain general liability insurance of $1 million or more. Activity is consistent but competitive; canned vegetables are commodity-grade products subject to USDA specifications and aggressive price bidding within consolidated food service awards.
