UNSPSC 50473269: Canned or jarred organic tuxedo corn

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

UNSPSC 50473269 Canned or jarred organic tuxedo corn is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily as a shelf-stable protein and vegetable component in mass food service operations—school cafeterias, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and assisted-living centers. The recent solicitations show that this code sees activity as part of much larger consumable food procurements where canned and jarred vegetables, including specialty varieties, are ordered alongside proteins, dairy, and fresh produce to meet multi-facility meal service demands. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, state comptroller procurement divisions, county school districts, county social services departments, and county boards of education—a mix reflecting the concentration of large-scale institutional food service. Texas agencies appear as frequent repeat buyers, particularly the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the state comptroller's office.

Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon as the primary recent sources. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), which encompassed approximately $1.5 million in historical annual volume and included canned vegetables among 200+ line items; the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to supply the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (due May 4, 2026, with extension), which specified 382 line items including canned and fresh vegetables across multiple facilities; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026), requesting sealed bids for food products across multiple categories including canned fruits and vegetables for four schools under the Buy American Act. Orders are typically firm, fixed-price with F.O.B. Destination delivery required within 72 hours to 30 days of order placement, and contract terms run fiscal or calendar years with annual renewal options at the issuing body's discretion.
