UNSPSC 50473244: Canned or jarred organic pearl white corn

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

UNSPSC 50473244 Canned or jarred organic pearl white corn is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned vegetables—typically white corn, tomatoes, mixed vegetables, and other staples—for institutional food service operations including state hospitals, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring canned and jarred produce as part of much larger consumables packages that also include proteins, dairy, dry goods, and food service supplies. The code captures a narrow product line but sits within expansive institutional food procurement that emphasizes USDA grade compliance, delivery within specified windows (typically seven days or less), FOB Destination pricing with prepaid freight, and firm fixed-unit pricing subject to price-adjustment provisions tied to indices such as the Consumer Price Index or verified third-party market data. Issuing bodies are predominantly Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Comptroller of Public Accounts for the Department of Criminal Justice, Department of State Health Services), Georgia school districts and county systems (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon state agencies (Department of Corrections), and Illinois state entities. These jurisdictions solicit food products repeatedly throughout the fiscal year—often quarterly or annually—to maintain continuous supply for resident populations, incarcerated individuals, students, and seniors.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for state supported living center supply between May and October 2026 (HHS0016792V2 with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million across renewal periods, HHS0017449 for El Paso facility with prior-period value of $1.5 million, and HHS0018082 for Lufkin facility with response due October 23, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, bids due June 19, 2026, with the prior-purchase benchmark of $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables under IWQ 140229 (quotes due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each issued comprehensive school nutrition food bids covering dozens of line items with canned produce components. The code shows active, recurring demand but no single recent opportunity explicitly tagged to canned corn alone; instead, the commodity appears as one line item within multi-category institutional food procurements. Bidders typically must respond to 95 percent or more of specified items, provide firm pricing for initial contract periods with adjustments limited to index-based formulas, meet USDA grade and shelf-life requirements, and deliver FOB Destination with all freight included.
