UNSPSC 50463264: Canned or jarred sugar snow corn

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

UNSPSC 50463264 Canned or jarred sugar snow corn is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable vegetable products for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional and health-care facilities. The code sees steady activity across K-12 school districts, state departments of corrections, and state health and human services agencies, which collectively represent the dominant issuing bodies. The scope of work includes canned and jarred vegetables—particularly tomato products, corn varieties, and mixed produce—supplied as components of larger food service contracts rather than standalone line items. School districts are the most frequent buyers under this code, followed by state correctional departments and state health and human services commissions. Recent opportunities show that canned vegetables typically appear within broader grocery or food-supply solicitations serving 30 to 35 schools or multiple state facilities simultaneously, with vendors expected to meet USDA grading standards, FDA compliance, sodium limits, minimum shelf life (commonly 12 months), and delivery schedules tied to cafeteria or food-service operations.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The most recent opportunities span Georgia (multiple school districts including Liberty County, Douglas County, Ben Hill County, Burke County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham; plus state procurement), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' Invitation to Bid S2910000016405 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, specifying USDA Grade B or better with sodium not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams and minimum 12-month shelf life, with the prior purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with historical monthly value of $1.5 million and firm fixed pricing required; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 products due April 27, 2026, requiring bidders to respond to a minimum of 76 line items from the school-delivery section with all products meeting Buy American Act requirements and Child Nutrition Label specifications. Canned vegetables move through these channels as part of demand-driven contracts with pricing typically firm for the contract period and delivery to centralized distribution centers or directly to individual school cafeterias on weekly or bi-weekly schedules.
