UNSPSC 50473235: Canned or jarred organic kandy korn corn

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

UNSPSC 50473235, Canned or jarred organic kandy korn corn, is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable canned and jarred produce items procured by state and local agencies for institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span prepared-food and consumable-supply buys by state health and human services departments, county and school nutrition programs, and state correctional and facility-management agencies. Scope includes canned vegetables, canned proteins, canned fruits, and related food-service consumables—not exclusively the organic candy corn explicitly named in the code title, but rather the broader category of shelf-stable canned goods and supplies that agencies requisition for cafeteria, canteen, and institutional dining operations. Issuing bodies range from state-level health, corrections, and facility-management authorities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections) to county-level nutrition and community-services departments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and school districts across multiple states.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional volume in Illinois. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies, bids due October 23, 2026); Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, rice, and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (bids due June 19, 2026, with prior award at $13.75 per case). Texas solicitations show particular recurring demand—HHSC issued multiple IFBs for state-supported living centers and hospitals across FY 2026 and FY 2027 with contract values estimated at $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multiyear terms. School nutrition programs in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) procure hundreds of line items under annual cycles with firm pricing and quarterly or semiannual adjustment mechanisms tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks.
