UNSPSC 50473220: Canned or jarred organic double gem corn

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

UNSPSC 50473220 Canned or jarred organic double gem corn is a Commodity code that in practice spans shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products procured by state and local agencies for institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show agencies buying a wider range of canned goods — including canned tomatoes, canned proteins, soups, and mixed shelf-stable produce — alongside the nominal organic corn product, often as line items within larger consumables food buys rather than as standalone commodity procurements. Issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services operating supported living centers and correctional facilities, county commissioners and school districts purchasing for nutrition programs, and state procurement offices acting as centralized buyers. Work spans routine food service supply fulfillment, with vendors required to meet USDA grade standards, provide firm fixed pricing, deliver within seven days to two weeks of order placement on FOB Destination terms, and maintain detailed product identification, nutritional labeling, and shelf-life documentation. Vendors commonly bid hundreds of line items as a single comprehensive award and must hold product liability insurance and comply with E-Verify, debarment, and Buy American requirements where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted three separate IFBs between May and August 2026 for food and consumables serving the Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers, with historical annual contract values ranging from $1.5 million to a potential three-year total of $4.5 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 with bids due June 19, 2026, setting a previous purchase price of $13.75 per case and requiring delivery to a centralized distribution center in Salem. Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools—each issued comprehensive food bids in May and June 2026 for multiple school locations, with Gwinnett County requesting informal written quotes for shelf-stable products due October 19, 2026. The Illinois State procurement system also posted a quarterly food order in June 2026. Delivery windows typically compress to 30 to 72 hours of order receipt for institutional food service operations, and awards often go to single or multiple vendors by line item or across product categories based on lowest responsive bid and demonstrated past performance.
