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

UNSPSC 50463250 Canned or jarred quickie corn, a Commodity code, sees active demand across state and local procurement for shelf-stable produce items supplied to institutional food service operations. The work being solicited covers canned vegetables—primarily canned tomato products, canned corn, and supplemental canned goods—for supply to correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, and veterans homes. State and local governments are procuring these items as line components within broader grocery and food service contracts, typically as part of larger meal-program operations rather than standalone commodity buys. The issuing bodies include state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home), school nutrition programs across multiple districts and county systems (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood School District in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple school jurisdictions (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Repeat activity appears strongest among school nutrition programs and state institutional food service operations.

Geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with particularly heavy concentration in Georgia school district procurements and Texas state health agency solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (including canned goods) supplying state supported living centers statewide with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period and proposals due July 13, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases in eight truckloads) with bids due June 19, 2026 at the Oregon DOC Central Distribution Center; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products including canned vegetables with bids due June 15, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for food supply and distribution serving 30 school districts with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million to $10.5 million combined across both geographic areas. Solicitations employ IFB, RFP, and ITB notice types; pricing is typically firm fixed or cost-plus-documented-net structures; and delivery windows span weekly to quarterly intervals with FOB Destination terms predominating.
