UNSPSC 50463249: Canned or jarred pristine corn

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

UNSPSC 50463249 Canned or jarred pristine corn, a Commodity code, covers canned vegetable products that state and local governments procure as part of bulk food service supply — most prominently school nutrition programs, state institutional facilities including correctional and health services operations, and veteran homes. Recent solicitations show the code active in school district food service contracts, state health and human services procurement for supported living centers and hospitals, and corrections department supply chains, with canned goods appearing alongside fresh produce, frozen items, and fresh proteins in integrated food service bids rather than as standalone line items.

School districts dominate the recent activity, including Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), soliciting canned vegetables as components of annual or multi-year grocery and food supply contracts under IFB or RFP notice types. State agencies are also active: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including canned goods for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued a solicitation for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller, issued IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21). The Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy solicited quarterly weekly food orders as RFQs covering canned or prepared items alongside fresh goods. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, with multiple school districts and the state department active), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Canned goods typically represent only one category within broader food service contracts; vendors bid on hundreds of line items with firm fixed pricing for annual terms, often with renewal options and escalation clauses tied to USDA price indices or the Consumer Price Index.
