UNSPSC 50463248: Canned or jarred precocious corn

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

UNSPSC 50463248 Canned or jarred precocious corn, a Commodity code, addresses state and local procurement of canned vegetable products for institutional food service operations, including cafeterias, detention facilities, and supported living centers. Recent opportunities show school districts, state corrections departments, and health and human services agencies soliciting canned and jarred vegetables—including canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and broader food consumable packages that encompass canned corn and similar shelf-stable items—through IFB, ITB, and RFP notices. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District), and county school systems (Douglas County School System). These agencies frequently bundle canned vegetables into larger food-service procurement packages rather than soliciting corn alone, with contracts valued from under $100,000 for single-item buys to several million dollars for multi-year food supply agreements serving hundreds of schools or multiple state facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections posted two canned-vegetable solicitations in early 2026 (canned tomatoes, ITB S2910000016405 due April 6, 2026, and tomato paste, ITB S2910000016089 due March 9, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued supplemental food and consumable bids covering canned goods statewide (IFB HHS0016792 and successor HHS0017449), and Georgia school districts posted multiple food bids including produce and canned items (Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 due June 15, 2026; Burke County Public Schools ITB due June 5, 2026; Liberty County Board of Education IFB due April 29, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 due April 23, 2026). Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI) and Virginia systems (Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026) also solicited comprehensive grocery bids including canned items. Most school-nutrition procurements emphasize firm pricing, Buy American compliance, USDA-grade conformance, whole-grain and low-sodium specifications, and weekly delivery to multiple school sites, with contract terms typically running July 1 through June 30 and renewable for multiple years.
