UNSPSC 50473213: Canned or jarred organic champ corn

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

UNSPSC 50473213 Canned or jarred organic champ corn, a Commodity code, encompasses canned and jarred preserved corn products that state and local government food service operations procure for institutional meal programs. Recent opportunities show this category sits within broader food-procurement activity spanning school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health and human services institutions, and veterans' homes, where canned vegetables appear as line items within multi-category RFPs and IFBs for quarterly or annual food supply contracts. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies with institutional feeding missions—Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the State of Illinois Veterans Home, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. School districts dominate the recent activity, bidding annually or semi-annually for grocery staples to support child nutrition programs; state agencies procure smaller volumes on quarterly or as-needed bases. The code shows no standout repeat buyers in isolation—canned corn appears as a commodity-level specification within much larger food-service RFPs and IFBs, not as standalone solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Texas, with secondary activity in the Upper Midwest (Missouri, Illinois) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon). Representative recent opportunities include the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for a comprehensive School Food Bid (bids due June 15, 2026) covering hundreds of line items including canned vegetables with Buy American requirements; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for Tomato Canned (approximately 7,616 cases, bids due June 19, 2026) representing the closest match to the code's scope, with USDA Grade B or better specifications, 12-month shelf-life requirements, and sodium limits; the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery procurement (bids due April 29, 2026) with over 900 line items including canned goods; and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (bids due April 27, 2026) supplying 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens with firm fixed pricing and nine-month minimum shelf life. Canned vegetables are universally specified for Buy American compliance, USDA grade conformance, sodium content limits, and minimum 12-month shelf life; school districts and state facilities typically evaluate on lowest responsive bid within specification or best value, with awards to single or multiple vendors on line-item basis. No set-aside designations appear in any recent posting.
