UNSPSC 50463266: Canned or jarred telstar corn

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

UNSPSC 50463266 Canned or jarred telstar corn, a Commodity code, sees steady demand from school districts, state agencies, and institutional food service operations procuring canned vegetables as part of broader food supply contracts. State and local governments purchase canned corn primarily through consolidated food service bids that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, and shelf-stable goods for school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and veterans homes. The code sits within larger food supply contracts rather than as a standalone commodity; recent solicitations consistently pair canned vegetables with fresh produce, frozen items, and proteins in consolidated RFPs and IFBs that establish annual or multi-year supply relationships with fixed or indexed pricing.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), followed by Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, TDCJ cafeteria operations), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home Quincy), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). State agencies—Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Georgia state operations—also solicit regularly under related food codes. Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' FY-27 IVHQ Quarterly Weekly Food Order (IFB, due June 26, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Food and Consumable Products for HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections Tomato Canned procurement (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, seeking 7,616 cases). Texas and Georgia school districts have posted the densest recent activity; a cooperative buying vehicle serving 30 Georgia school districts (GEC Buying Cooperative) amplifies procurement scale in that state. Pricing in these bids typically remains firm for 12 months with CPI-indexed or negotiated adjustments at renewal; minimum shelf life requirements of 12 months and USDA Grade B or better specifications are standard across jurisdictions.
