UNSPSC 50463265: Canned or jarred sundance corn

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

UNSPSC 50463265 Canned or jarred sundance corn, a Commodity code, covers canned vegetable products that state and local governments source for institutional food service — particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services operations. Recent solicitations show this code captures broader canned-vegetable procurements where sundance corn appears as one line item among hundreds in multi-category food bids, rather than standalone specialty requests. The issuing bodies span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with districts sourcing canned vegetables as part of fixed-price food supply contracts requiring firm pricing over twelve-month periods and permitting price adjustments only at renewal or when manufacturers increase costs by 5 percent or greater with supporting documentation.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia across the six-month window (January–June 2026). Representative recent procurements include Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products due June 15, 2026, encompassing multiple food categories with Buy American Act compliance; Rockwood R-VI School District's dual competitive grocery bids for the 2026–27 school year due April 29, 2026, using NUTRIKIDS electronic submission format and covering over 900 line items; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million as a guideline. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple canned-goods bids (canned tomatoes S2910000017145 due June 19, 2026, and tomato paste S2910000016089 due March 9, 2026) with Oregon-fabrication and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent each. All school district procurements emphasize USDA compliance, Child Nutrition meal pattern standards, whole-grain and low-sodium options, and HACCP food safety protocols, with awards based on lowest responsive-responsible bid or best value and vendors typically required to carry $1,000,000 general liability insurance and complete federal debarment certifications.
