UNSPSC 50473268: Canned or jarred organic treasure corn

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

UNSPSC 50473268 Canned or jarred organic treasure corn, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within broader food procurement activity. State and local governments buy canned and jarred organic corn products as part of meal service operations at schools, correctional facilities, state health and human services institutions, and veterans homes. The code sees sparse recent solicitation activity; however, the broader pattern of state and local food procurement shows heavy reliance on canned vegetable products—tomatoes, produce, and specialty items—bundled into larger food supply contracts rather than procured in isolation. When canned vegetables are solicited, they typically appear as line items within comprehensive food service contracts spanning hundreds of products across proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and fresh produce, all priced competitively and delivered to central distribution centers or directly to school cafeterias and institutional kitchens.

Recent activity in canned vegetable procurement spans Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with school districts and state institutional buyers dominating the issuing base. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables (including canned goods) for state hospitals and supported living centers under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) and HHS0016792V2 (due March 19, 2026), with estimated annual values ranging from $1.5 million to $4.5 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued separate bids for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) and tomato paste (approximately 1,904 cases, ITB S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026), both sourced through OregonBuys with 5 percent Oregon-processing and resident-bidder preferences. School districts—including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia)—procured food through competitive bids emphasizing Buy American Act compliance, USDA standards, and whole-grain or low-sodium specifications for school nutrition programs. Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy requested weekly food orders (RFQ 26497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) under state-managed procurement. Canned or jarred organic corn as a standalone commodity rarely appears in posted solicitations; it enters procurement as a component line item within large-scale institutional food supply contracts where volume, price, and compliance with nutrition standards drive vendor selection more heavily than organic certification alone.
