UNSPSC 50473255: Canned or jarred organic seneca starshine corn

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

UNSPSC 50473255 Canned or jarred organic seneca starshine corn, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement only sporadically and predominantly within broader food-procurement solicitations where canned and jarred vegetables are bundled with dozens or hundreds of other line items rather than as standalone buys. State and local governments purchase canned corn primarily through school district nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and state supported living centers, typically as part of comprehensive annual food supply contracts that specify canned vegetables alongside proteins, dairy, produce, and prepared foods. Recent solicitations show the code appearing in multi-category food buys issued by school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission statewide hospital and supported living center procurement), and correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections). Issuing bodies span state departments, county school systems, and independent school districts, with school nutrition programs dominating the activity; no single buyer appears more than once in the recent opportunities block, indicating a fragmented, demand-driven market across many small-to-mid-size jurisdictions.

The code shows negligible standalone procurement activity. Recent opportunities naming canned corn explicitly are absent from the block; instead, the commodity appears implicitly within aggregated grocery, produce, or consumable-supply solicitations where unit pricing is requested across hundreds of line items. Representative recent buys include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide food and consumable procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering food service for state supported living centers with pricing submitted on Exhibit C, and the Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items solicitation (due April 29, 2026 in Missouri) encompassing over 900 line items across all food categories using electronic NUTRIKIDS bid submission. Geographic spread reflects school-district concentration in the Southeast (Georgia, Missouri) and Southwest (Texas), with additional activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia, Illinois). Most recent solicitations are open competitive IFBs or RFPs with firm fixed pricing, quantities estimated from prior usage rather than guaranteed, and contract terms running July through June aligned to school fiscal years; no set-asides or incumbent preferences are identified in the block.
