UNSPSC 50463258: Canned or jarred silver queen corn

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

UNSPSC 50463258 Canned or jarred silver queen corn is a Commodity code encompassing shelf-stable canned vegetables that state and local governments procure as part of larger food-service operations — specifically institutional food supply contracts for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent solicitations show demand for canned corn alongside diverse canned vegetables, proteins, and staple foods in bulk quantities (cases measured in the hundreds to thousands), with delivery to central distribution points or individual facility kitchens within 72 hours to seven days of order. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS), state corrections departments (Oregon DOC), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and special-purpose state facilities. State agencies dominate the recent activity, particularly Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, though the scope spans institutional food procurement across multiple states where volume purchases and firm, fixed pricing on F.O.B. Destination terms are standard requirements.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items including prepared foods and food service supplies, bids due October 23, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest); and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center). School district solicitations such as Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (IFB #26271, bids due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools' comprehensive nutrition procurement (bids due June 5, 2026) include canned produce alongside fresh and frozen items. All contracts require compliance with USDA standards, minimum shelf life, proper labeling, and delivery within specified windows; pricing is evaluated on a per-unit or per-ounce basis with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and Texas contracts frequently reference prior-period historical values in the $1.5 million range as planning guidance only.
