UNSPSC 50473208: Canned or jarred organic bodacious corn

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

UNSPSC 50473208 Canned or jarred organic bodacious corn, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable canned vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — primarily for state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, school districts, and senior services programs. The code sees active solicitation across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon for bulk quantities of canned and jarred vegetables (including but not limited to corn, tomatoes, and mixed canned produce) supplied to state-supported living centers, Department of Corrections operations, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. Issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services commissions and departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), county school systems (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and county government agencies (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). These jurisdictions procure canned vegetables as line items within larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity bids, typically bundled with fresh produce, proteins, and consumable supplies in IFBs and informal written quotes.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), which solicited food items including prepared foods and service supplies for fiscal year 2027; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for senior services (due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026, with previous award at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest). Texas HHSC is a repeat buyer, with multiple fiscal-year procurements spanning state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools) also solicit canned vegetables as components of comprehensive school nutrition food bids for multiple school locations. Geographic concentration remains heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois.
