UNSPSC 50473248: Canned or jarred organic precocious corn

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

UNSPSC 50473248 Canned or jarred organic precocious corn is a Commodity code that captures fresh and processed vegetable procurement by state and local food service operations — school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services facilities — bidding annually for shelf-stable produce staples to support meal programs. The recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity for the specific commodity; instead, the code sits within a broader stream of general food-supply procurement where canned vegetables (tomatoes, corn, mixed vegetables) appear as line items within larger RFP and IFB scopes covering hundreds of products. State and local purchasing offices rarely issue single-commodity solicitations for canned corn alone; they consolidate demand into comprehensive food-service contracts that bundle proteins, dairy, fresh produce, canned goods, condiments, and supplies into one bid. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), and Muscogee County School District (Georgia). Corrections departments and health and human services agencies appear as secondary buyers — Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), and Illinois Veterans Home. The code also captures occasional municipal and state-agency food procurement such as the State of Georgia and State of Illinois purchasing for facilities.

Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia, the Southeast, and Texas, with active procurement across Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois as well. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026, under IFB with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for food products and related items (due June 15, 2026) spanning fresh and frozen produce, meat, seafood, dairy, and condiments across four school locations; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases, prior vendor Highland Wholesale at $13.75 per case); and Rockwood R-VI School District's dual solicitations for Grocery NOI and Grocery Items (both due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items combined across snacks, fruits, vegetables, meats, and prepared entrees. Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, E-Verify attestations, and liability insurance of $500,000 to $2,000,000 are standard across this code's procurement landscape. Contract terms typically run one year with options to renew for up to three additional years, and awards often go to lowest responsive bid or multiple vendors by line item to optimize cost and service. The code shows steady seasonal demand peaks in spring (March through June) ahead of fiscal-year starts (July 1), with response windows of two to three weeks standard. Set-aside programs vary by jurisdiction but do not dominate; Georgia state procurements sometimes specify Buy American and may include local-vendor preferences, while most school-district and corrections bids remain open to all qualified vendors meeting insurance and compliance thresholds.
