UNSPSC 50473231: Canned or jarred organic incredible corn

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

UNSPSC 50473231 Canned or jarred organic incredible corn, a Commodity code, sees steady activity across school nutrition programs and state institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations show the code captures a broader range of canned and jarred vegetables and prepared food items beyond the nominal commodity name. State and local governments procure canned and jarred products—tomatoes, corn, vegetables, and prepared foods—primarily through school districts and state departments managing institutional food service for correctional facilities, supported living centers, and K–12 nutrition programs. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), county school systems (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Burke County in Georgia; Ben Hill County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Fairfax County in Virginia), and independent school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia). School districts dominate the activity, with most solicitations seeking comprehensive food supply contracts spanning hundreds of line items, including canned goods as one component of broader grocery or food-service buys.

Recent opportunities span the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with concentrated activity in Georgia (multiple school districts and the state), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ statewide), Oregon (ODOC), and Illinois (state veterans home). Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation for bids on 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's invitation for supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with an estimated prior-period historical value of $1.5 million); the State of Illinois' quarterly food order for the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy (RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 solicitation serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). Pricing in recent awards reflects firm, fixed-rate structures with occasional cost-plus-market-index adjustments; the Oregon canned-tomato prior purchase was $13.75 per case (February 2026) and canned-tomato paste was $27.75 per case (May 2025). Contract terms typically run one to three years with renewal options; Buy American Act compliance, HACCP certification, federal debarment and E-Verify attestations, and comprehensive liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 coverage) are standard requirements. No set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise preferences appear in the recent opportunities, making these open-market competitions.
