UNSPSC 50473258: Canned or jarred organic silver queen corn

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

UNSPSC 50473258 Canned or jarred organic silver queen corn is a Commodity code that in state and local practice covers shelf-stable canned vegetable products procured for institutional food service — canteens, school cafeterias, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The code sees regular but modest solicitation activity centered on large-volume bulk purchases of canned vegetables, typically as part of broader food-supply bids that bundle proteins, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (particularly Texas HHSC), county boards of commissioners, school districts, departments of corrections, and state-supported residential facilities. The work involves responding to IFB and IWQ notices specifying case quantities, delivery timelines, F.O.B. Destination terms with prepaid freight, brand-specific or approved-equivalent product specifications, and compliance with federal nutrition standards (USDA grades, FDA labeling, shelf-life requirements, sodium limits). Vendors must typically furnish references, proof of business qualifications, emergency contacts, and certifications covering debarment, E-Verify compliance, and product warranty or complaint-resolution procedures.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with scattered activity in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), which encompassed 22 line items of prepared and shelf-stable foods with delivery within seven days of order; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), priced at $13.75 per case in the prior February purchase and subject to Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables (due October 19, 2026) with delivery to a senior services center. School nutrition programs and correctional facilities appear as repeat buyers. The code shows no recent opportunities explicitly tagged to organic silver queen corn, but the broader family of canned and jarred vegetables sees consistent procurement across institutional food-service categories.
