UNSPSC 50473223: Canned or jarred organic excel corn

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

UNSPSC 50473223 Canned or jarred organic excel corn (Commodity) represents shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, and senior services. Recent solicitations show this code capturing canned vegetables as line items within broader food-product buys rather than as standalone commodity procurements; the code's nominal focus on organic corn does not match the recent activity, which includes canned tomatoes, mixed canned vegetables, and non-organic options alongside organic items. State and local issuing bodies active under this code include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state corrections and institutional-care operators (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), and county service agencies (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). Procurement volumes are substantial, with individual opportunities spanning hundreds of line items and estimated annual consumption reaching thousands of cases across multiple delivery points.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, reflecting institutional food-service demand across state prison systems, state supported living centers, and K–12 school nutrition programs. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items and a maximum value of $4.5 million over three years, with response due March 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, awarded to the lowest responsive bidder at $13.75 per case in the prior February 2026 purchase; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products with bids due June 15, 2026, covering four school locations. Delivery terms are consistently FOB Destination with freight prepaid, product compliance spans USDA grades and FDA standards, and response timelines typically range from one to four weeks. Texas solicitations frequently require E-Verify compliance, debarment certification, and compliance with state-specific restrictions including limitations on contracts with abortion providers; Georgia school districts mandate Buy American provisions and HACCP plan implementation; Oregon applies a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders.
