UNSPSC 50473204: Canned or jarred organic argent corn

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

UNSPSC 50473204 Canned or jarred organic argent corn, a Commodity code, covers packaged vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition, corrections, and health and human services operations. State and local buyers stock canned and jarred vegetables—including corn, tomatoes, and mixed produce—as shelf-stable components of institutional food service. Recent opportunities show school districts, state correctional facilities, and state health and human services agencies issuing food service RFPs and IFBs that bundle canned vegetables alongside fresh produce, proteins, and dry goods. School nutrition programs represent the dominant issuing body, with multiple districts and the state of Georgia soliciting food products that include canned items. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois Veterans Home also appear as repeat buyers for canned goods and related consumables. Pricing structures typically specify firm fixed unit costs, with allowances for cost-of-living adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumable products, due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 (approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026, previous purchase at $13.75 per case), and multiple Georgia school district food bids including Liberty County Board of Education IFB for Food Products (over 400 line items, due April 29, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (multiple food categories with Buy American requirements, due June 15, 2026). School nutrition contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 annually, with renewal options spanning three to five years and price redetermination tied to documented market indices. Institutional buyers enforce strict compliance with USDA grades, sodium limits, shelf-life requirements, and federal nutrition standards, and demand delivery on fixed schedules—weekly or as-needed—with firm pricing for contract periods and escalation clauses tied to third-party cost documentation.
