UNSPSC 50463251: Canned or jarred radiance corn

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

UNSPSC 50463251 Canned or jarred radiance corn is a Commodity code that captures a narrow product line within state and local food procurement—specifically canned whole-kernel or similar corn products supplied to institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying canned corn as one line item among dozens or hundreds in broader food-service contracts, rather than as standalone procurements. The code appears in school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, and veterans' homes where it functions as a commodity ingredient supporting meal preparation rather than as a standalone procurement focus. Issuing bodies span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County and Muscogee County and Burke County and Douglas County and Savannah-Chatham school systems), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school systems across Georgia. School districts represent the largest share of recent activity, with the commodity embedded in annual food-service bids covering hundreds of line items and serving thousands of students.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables serving state-supported living centers and state health services facilities statewide, encompassing canned goods among 210 line items with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Liberty County Board of Education's IFB for Food Products (posted March 30, 2026, due April 29, 2026) covering over 400 items across 13 school delivery points; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for supply to 52 locations with firm fixed pricing and 365-day price hold; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (posted February 20, 2026, due March 9, 2026) at approximately $27.75 per case, demonstrating commodity pricing benchmarks. Most school-district bids require firm pricing for the entire contract year with price adjustments only at renewal, Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, and liability insurance in the $500,000 to $2,000,000 range. No set-asides are identified in the recent opportunities; all are open competitive procurements. Volume purchases are demand-driven rather than guaranteed, and most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options of one to four additional years.
