UNSPSC 50473216: Canned or jarred organic dazzle corn

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

UNSPSC 50473216 Canned or jarred organic dazzle corn is a Commodity code that encompasses state and local procurement of canned and jarred vegetable products, particularly organic or specialty corn varieties, for use in school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services institutions. Recent opportunities show that state and local governments buy canned and jarred produce items—tomatoes, corn, and related staple vegetables—as components of broader food service contracts for institutional feeding operations. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, Muscogee County Schools), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). School districts dominate recent activity, pursuing multi-category food procurement that includes canned vegetables alongside fresh, frozen, and prepared items as part of annual school nutrition contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Upper Midwest, with standout volume in Georgia (multiple school district solicitations), Texas (state health facilities and Department of Criminal Justice), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (including canned goods) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026, and the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases) with bids due June 19, 2026. The Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery procurement (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026, via electronic NutriKids submission) and Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) exemplify school-district-led solicitations covering dozens or hundreds of line items where canned vegetables appear alongside fresh and frozen produce. Most solicitations emphasize firm, fixed pricing for the contract period; compliance with USDA standards, FDA regulations, and Buy American requirements; and delivery to distributed school locations or central warehouses on weekly or as-needed schedules. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are specified across the recent opportunities reviewed.
