UNSPSC 50473200: Canned or jarred organic corn

The type of organic vegetable known as organic corn that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50473200 Canned or jarred organic corn, a Class code, sees state and local demand primarily for shelf-stable food products supplied to institutional food service operations—state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The recent solicitations show the code spans canned vegetables broadly (the Oregon Department of Corrections recently bid 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes; Texas HHSC procured supplemental canned and frozen produce statewide), with organic designation appearing less frequently than generic shelf-stable canned goods. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, county school districts, county commissioners' offices, and county services departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for consumables and food products across state supported living centers.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. Texas HHSC issued IFBs for the Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers (responses due August 25 and July 13, 2026 respectively), with the El Paso solicitation covering food and consumables for $1.5 million historical value and three-year potential of $4.5 million. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, posted IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (response due May 4, 2026). In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including canned vegetables and proteins (response due October 19, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools sought sealed bids on school nutrition groceries across five schools (response due June 5, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division bid approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better with Oregon preference (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders, response due June 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia posted an IFB for comprehensive food products with Buy American provisions requiring over 51 percent domestic agricultural content (response due June 15, 2026). Illinois posted FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food orders (response due June 26, 2026) with limited detail available.
