UNSPSC 50473206: Canned or jarred organic avalanche corn

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

UNSPSC 50473206 Canned or jarred organic avalanche corn, a Commodity code, identifies a narrow product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service contracts, though the recent solicitation record shows no direct procurement of this specific item. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state health and human services departments, county governments, school districts, and corrections departments, all of which buy consumable food products for institutional food service operations including state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The scope of actual procurement activity extends well beyond the code's narrow specification to encompass entire food-service categories—canned vegetables and proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and food-service supplies—typically solicited in large volume as IFBs with firm fixed unit pricing, delivery within 7 to 30 days, and FOB Destination terms. Issuing bodies commonly require three verifiable references, compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable, HACCP plans, E-Verify certification, debarment verification, liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000, and adherence to USDA grading standards.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental and consumable food products serving state supported living centers and state hospitals—including HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, bids due October 23, 2026), HHS0017872 (Lufkin fiscal year 2027, bids due August 25, 2026), and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, bids due July 13, 2026 at 10:30 a.m., with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million)—along with HHS0016792V2, a supplemental food and consumables IFB with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools have issued IFBs for comprehensive food procurement serving multiple school sites (bids due June 15, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (response extended to May 4, 2026). Oregon's Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes under S2910000017145 (bids due June 19, 2026), and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026). No state and local solicitation specifically naming canned or jarred organic corn appears in the recent activity record.
