UNSPSC 50473229, Canned or jarred organic illini gold corn, is a Commodity code that describes canned and jarred shelf-stable vegetable products, typically organic varieties, procured by state and local agencies for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and residential care facilities. State and local opportunities under this code reflect procurement of bulk canned vegetables—including canned corn, tomatoes, and mixed vegetables—as line items within broader food-supply contracts for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and county social-service agencies. Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) facilities, Georgia school districts, Georgia county governments, and Oregon corrections departments. The scope encompasses both brand-specific organic and conventional canned vegetables, often with sodium and nutritional-standard specifications aligned to USDA Child Nutrition meal-pattern compliance or institutional dietary guidelines, delivered on FOB Destination terms with delivery cycles of 7 to 30 days.
