UNSPSC 50483202: Alpine corn purees

The variety of corn known as alpine corn which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483202 Alpine corn purees is a Commodity code that spans food products state and local governments buy for institutional food service — primarily school districts, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes. Recent opportunities tagged under this code show state and local purchasers buying broad food categories rather than ingredient-specific items like alpine corn purees; the code appears to function as a catchall for processed vegetable products within larger food service contracts. Solicitations under the code include week-to-week meal orders for veterans' homes, comprehensive grocery and produce contracts for school districts serving thousands of students, and multi-facility food supply agreements for state correctional and human services facilities. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia), and less frequently counties and special-purpose health authorities. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest—Georgia, Texas, and Oregon show the highest recent procurement volume—with secondary activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement of supplemental food and consumable products (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026) for state supported living centers, covering 210 line items and estimating $1.5 million in prior-period volume; the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato purchase (ITB S2910000016405, response due April 6, 2026) of approximately 7,616 cases for central distribution; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, response due April 27, 2026) for food delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens with weekly delivery requirements. School districts dominate the active opportunities and typically issue annual IFBs or RFPs in March–May for fiscal-year contracts beginning July 1, with response cycles of three to six weeks. Pricing is universally firm-fixed during initial contract periods, with midterm adjustments permitted only upon documented manufacturer price increases above thresholds ranging from 5 to 20 percent. Buy American Act compliance, HACCP plan requirements, and minimum insurance limits ($500,000–$2,000,000 general liability) are standard contract conditions across all issuing bodies.
