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, Commodity tier, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, though the recent opportunities block shows the code captures only a small fraction of actual canned-vegetable buying by public agencies. State and local governments procure canned corn and other canned vegetables as components of much broader food-service contracts—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and state health and human services facilities—but the opportunities solicited under this code show minimal specific demand for silver queen corn by variety. The issuing bodies are typically school districts, state corrections departments, and state health agencies acquiring food for mass feeding operations. When canned vegetables appear in recent solicitations, they are bundled into comprehensive food procurement packages spanning proteins, dairy, fresh produce, and staple dry goods, not isolated by specific vegetable type or corn variety. The code sees activity among state corrections departments in Oregon and Texas, state veterans homes in Illinois, and school districts across Georgia and Missouri, but no recent opportunity explicitly names silver queen corn as a line item.

The geographic spread spans the upper Midwest and South, with Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting canned tomatoes (a near-neighbor commodity under the same family) at roughly $13.75 to $27.75 per case, and multiple Georgia school districts and Missouri school districts procuring broad food categories that may include canned vegetables as minor line items within hundreds-of-item platforms. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables statewide covering 210+ line items, with historical contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years, but none explicitly foreground corn by variety. Representative recent activity includes Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste (due March 9, 2026) and S2910000015837 for canned tomatoes (due February 9, 2026), each seeking roughly 1,900–7,600 cases, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables supporting state-supported living centers, with historical annual value of $1.5 million. School nutrition programs in Fairfax County, Virginia (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Ben Hill County and Burke County in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, and Liberty County in Georgia all issued comprehensive food bids encompassing hundreds of line items; none identified canned silver queen corn as a distinguishable procurement target, suggesting the UNSPSC code does not align closely with how state and local buyers actually specify and solicit this product.
