UNSPSC 50473257: Canned or jarred organic showcase corn

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

UNSPSC 50473257 Canned or jarred organic showcase corn, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement. Recent opportunities show that state and local governments buy shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables—including corn, tomatoes, and mixed items—primarily to supply institutional food service operations at state facilities, county senior centers, school nutrition programs, and correctional institutions. While the code name specifies organic showcase corn, the actual solicitations tagged under this code encompass a broader range of canned vegetables and food products; the single recent opportunity clearly matched to the code scope comes from the Oregon Department of Corrections, which solicited canned tomatoes rather than corn specifically, indicating that state and local agencies use this code flexibly for canned vegetable procurement across multiple commodity types. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and specialized state facilities (state supported living centers). The mix reflects institutional food service demand across corrections, social services, education, and senior services.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with the most substantial opportunities in Texas (multiple HHSC solicitations for state supported living centers and state hospitals) and Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). Oregon appears as a secondary market (Department of Corrections canned tomato procurement with 7,616 cases due June 19, 2026, previously awarded at $13.75 per case). Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with historical value of $1.5 million and response due July 13, 2026; the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, and canned vegetables) with response due October 19, 2026; and Burke County Public Schools' comprehensive school nutrition procurement with nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories and sealed bid due June 5, 2026. F.O.B. Destination pricing with prepaid freight, three-year contract terms with renewal options, and Buy American or domestic-sourcing requirements are standard across these solicitations.
