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 is a Commodity code that covers branded or equivalent canned and jarred corn products supplied to state and local institutional food service operations. State and local procurement under this code centers on school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and state health and human services institutions that source canned vegetables as components of bulk food supply contracts rather than as standalone specialty purchases. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (ranging from small county systems to large urban districts), state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and state-operated veterans homes. School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts in Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia issuing comprehensive food procurement RFPs and IFBs that name canned corn and other canned vegetables as line items within larger grocery or produce contracts.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County Schools, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) posting multiple solicitations, Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District soliciting grocery items including canned goods, Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice) issuing large supplemental food and cafeteria food procurements, Oregon's Department of Corrections posting canned tomato bids, Illinois Veterans Home issuing quarterly food orders, and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia seeking master grocery contracts. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, responses due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers statewide with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period; the Rockwood R-VI School District's child nutrition services grocery procurement (posted March 31, 2026, bids due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items across multiple food categories for the 2026-27 school year; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, sealed bids due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Most school district contracts run calendar school years (July 1 through June 30) with firm fixed pricing for the initial period and permitted cost adjustments tied to third-party indices such as USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index, while institutional state procurements typically establish one-year base terms with renewal options.
