UNSPSC 50473240: Canned or jarred organic merlin corn

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

UNSPSC 50473240 Canned or jarred organic merlin corn, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's narrow scope — organic sweet corn in shelf-stable packaging — diverges sharply from what state and local governments are actually buying under food-related codes. Recent solicitations show heavy procurement of canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, comprehensive grocery supplies for school nutrition programs, and food service for correctional and health care facilities, but no posted opportunities specifically for canned organic corn in any form.

State and local issuing bodies active in food procurement include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Burke County Public Schools and Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Douglas County School System, Georgia), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia Department of Corrections), and specialized facilities (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with opportunities spanning Q1 through Q3 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (closing June 19, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools (due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative (due March 4, 2026, estimated spend $5.5 million). The code shows no current relevance to active procurement pipelines.
