UNSPSC 50473250: Canned or jarred organic quickie corn

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

UNSPSC 50473250 Canned or jarred organic quickie corn is a Commodity code representing preserved corn products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The recent solicitations show minimal activity specifically tagged to this code—the opportunities identified span broader food procurement categories including canned tomatoes, supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers, fresh produce, and comprehensive school nutrition grocery bids. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple Georgia and Missouri school systems (Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, and others) soliciting annual food supply contracts. Texas state agencies—the Health and Human Services Commission and Department of Criminal Justice—also appear as repeat buyers of institutional food products. Oregon's Department of Corrections and Illinois Veterans Home round out the institutional buyers, though their recent activity focuses on specific commodity items like canned tomatoes and tomato paste rather than organic corn products.

The code shows concentrated activity in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Oregon, with scattered procurement from Illinois and Virginia. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), which encompasses multiple NIGP commodity classes but does not specify organic corn; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food products across multiple categories; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens. The solicitations characterize school nutrition procurement as volume-driven, price-competitive bidding on hundreds of line items with firm fixed pricing over twelve-month periods, weekly or bi-weekly delivery requirements, and evaluation favoring lowest responsive and responsible bidders. No recent solicitation explicitly names organic corn or organic produce as a standalone procurement category, suggesting this commodity trades as a line item within larger food supply bundles rather than as a specialty or set-aside category in state and local markets.
