UNSPSC 50473224: Canned or jarred organic golden cross bantam corn

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

UNSPSC 50473224 Canned or jarred organic golden cross bantam corn is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement actually covers shelf-stable and canned vegetable products for institutional food service — most prominently canned tomatoes, canned vegetables, and other preserved produce used to supply state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services programs, and school cafeterias. Recent solicitations rarely specify the organic or varietal detail embedded in the code name; instead, state and local buyers treat the code as a vehicle for bulk procurement of canned or jarred vegetables meeting USDA Grade B or better standards, with sodium content and shelf-life specifications common across the recent record. Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which has posted multiple food-service solicitations for state-run residential facilities), the Oregon Department of Corrections, county boards of commissioners and school districts in Georgia, and state corrections and school nutrition programs across multiple jurisdictions. The work involves responsive bidding on hundreds of line items, firm fixed pricing with unit-cost evaluation, F.O.B. Destination delivery within specified timeframes (typically seven to thirty days of order), and compliance with federal food-safety standards, Buy American provisions where applicable, and state-specific vendor-qualification and debarment certifications.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas dominant in the recent record. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-year value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with delivery to Salem (bids due June 19, 2026, previous purchase price $13.75 per case), Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition including canned vegetables across four schools in Fitzgerald, Georgia (bids due June 15, 2026, with Buy American Act compliance required), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas in Texas (bids due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). Contracts typically run fiscal or academic years with renewal and extension options available; evaluation emphasizes best value, demonstrated past vendor performance, compliance with specifications, and price competitiveness rather than lowest bid alone.
