UNSPSC 50463255: Canned or jarred seneca starshine corn

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

UNSPSC 50463255 Canned or jarred Seneca Starshine corn is a Commodity code that sees solicitation activity primarily among state institutional food-service buyers—particularly state health and human services departments managing state-supported living centers and psychiatric hospitals, departments of corrections, and school districts. Recent opportunities show state and local governments buying shelf-stable canned vegetables as components of large mixed-lot food procurement contracts for cafeteria, canteen, and institutional-dining operations, typically bundled with other proteins, frozen items, dairy, condiments, and food-service supplies rather than as single-item awards. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables serving state-supported living centers, including HHS0017872 (posted August 11, 2026) and HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026), both spanning 20–22 line items of mixed food and supply products with annual usage in the low single-digit to mid-20s cases per item. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes under S2910000017145 (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026), applying a 5% preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-processed goods and resident bidders. School districts in Georgia—including Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (posted May 11, 2026, due June 5, 2026)—procure canned vegetables as line items within comprehensive annual food bids supporting multiple school cafeterias under Buy American Act requirements and USDA meal-pattern compliance.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (driven by HHSC institutional demand), Georgia (school districts), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with secondary activity in Illinois (State of Illinois FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food order, posted June 18, 2026, due June 26, 2026). Issuing bodies span state departments (health and human services, corrections, education), counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, IWQ 140229, posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products), and independent school districts. Response dates cluster in May through October 2026, with delivery-to-facility requirements typically mandating receipt within 7 to 72 hours of order placement and FOB Destination pricing inclusive of freight. Bidders across these solicitations must supply references, certifications of non-debarment and E-Verify compliance, liability insurance, and sometimes HACCP or food-safety documentation; Texas procurements notably require acknowledgment of addenda and submission through designated electronic platforms or hand delivery. The code shows steady baseline activity as a recurring line item in large institutional food contracts rather than as a standalone procurement driver.
