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 captures state and local procurement of canned and jarred corn products for food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows limited direct matches. State and local governments procure canned vegetables including corn through broad food-service RFPs and IFBs that encompass multiple commodity categories — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state health and human services operations, and veteran homes all source canned corn as part of larger grocery or supplemental food contracts. The issuing bodies span school districts (elementary through high schools), state corrections and health agencies, and state veteran facilities across multiple states. Canned corn appears as one line item among hundreds in comprehensive food solicitations rather than as a standalone procurement; vendors competing for these contracts typically supply it alongside proteins, fresh produce, dairy, and other staples under master grocery agreements or commodity-based term contracts.

Recent state and local activity in the canned-vegetable space centers on school districts and state agencies in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026) and HHS0016792 in February 2026 for supplemental food and consumables statewide covering 210 line items including canned goods (response due February 23, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes under ITB S2910000016405 (response due June 19, 2026) and S2910000015837 (response due February 9, 2026), with volumes in the thousands of cases. School districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, April 2026 response), Rockwood R-VI in Missouri (two separate grocery solicitations, April 2026), Liberty County Schools in Georgia (IFB, April 2026), and Burke County Schools in Georgia (May 2026) all procure canned vegetables within master grocery contracts requiring hundreds of line items. Contract values at the state level reach into the millions — HHSC's supplemental food contract carries a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years — while school district food procurements typically range from $1.5 million to $9 million annually depending on enrollment and service scope. Pricing for canned goods is generally firm and fixed for initial contract periods with midterm adjustments permitted only when manufacturers raise prices by 5 percent or more, supported by documentation.
