UNSPSC 50463257: Canned or jarred showcase corn

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

UNSPSC 50463257 Canned or jarred showcase corn, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable canned or jarred corn products that state and local governments procure primarily for food service operations at state institutions, schools, and county social services programs. Recent solicitations show the code encompassing single-line-item or multi-item food product orders where canned corn appears alongside other canned vegetables, proteins, and prepared foods as part of comprehensive cafeteria or kitchen consumables contracts. The issuing-body mix spans state health and human services departments, county governments, school districts, and state correctional and criminal justice agencies, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple facility types (state supported living centers, state hospitals). Purchasing activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois and other jurisdictions operating institutional food services at scale.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, posted October 16, 2026 with bids due October 23, 2026, which solicited 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery within seven days of order and F.O.B. Destination pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, posted June 5, 2026 with bids due June 19, 2026, which specified USDA Grade B or better with a 5 percent Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preference; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB 304T26300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations statewide, originally due April 21, 2026 and extended via addendum to May 4, 2026, with firm fixed pricing on an F.O.B. Destination basis and delivery to six TDCJ distribution points. Institutional food service procurement under this code typically requires compliance with USDA grade standards, specific shelf-life minimums, compliance certifications, and multi-location or multi-facility delivery logistics.
