UNSPSC 50473245: Canned or jarred organic pegasus corn

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

UNSPSC 50473245 Canned or jarred organic pegasus corn is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of packaged vegetable products for institutional food service operations, though recent opportunities under this specific code show sparse activity—the records provided contain no solicitations explicitly tagged to this code. The opportunities actually solicited involve broader canned and fresh produce categories (canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, eggs, and general grocery items) across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health and human services operations, and veterans' homes. State and local issuing bodies pursuing these food-service categories span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County Public Schools and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Missouri respectively, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia Department of Corrections), and special-purpose institutions (Texas state hospitals and supported living centers). Repeat buyers in the recent window include the Texas HHSC Procurement and Contracting Services division (which issued two complementary solicitations for supplemental and general food products in February and May 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections (which posted separate bids for canned tomatoes and tomato paste in January and February 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia and Texas particularly strong) and the Pacific Northwest, with secondary activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026, with estimated historical spend of $1.5 million for the prior period), the Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 services covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (sealed bids due April 27, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026), and the Rockwood R-VI School District's CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027 for over 900 line-item grocery items across multiple categories (bids due April 29, 2026 via the NUTRIKIDS system). School nutrition programs dominate recent volume, with most contracts running July 1 through June 30 on annual or multi-year terms; firm pricing for initial periods is standard, with midterm adjustments permitted only when manufacturers increase prices by 5 percent or greater. Buy American and USDA grade compliance requirements appear consistently across school and state-agency procurements.
