UNSPSC 50483204: Argent corn purees

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

UNSPSC 50483204 Argent corn purees (Commodity) covers prepared and shelf-stable food products sourced by state and local institutions for dining, food service, and nutrition programs. State and local governments buy this commodity code primarily as part of larger food supply contracts supporting state-operated living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The recent solicitations show that institutions source prepared foods and consumables—including canned vegetables, prepared entrees, dairy, proteins, and food service supplies—through combined commodity procurements rather than as standalone line items. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and correctional agencies. Texas agencies appear frequently, with the HHSC conducting multiple solicitations for state supported living centers and the Department of Criminal Justice for cafeteria products. School districts and county senior services programs also participate regularly.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFBs for food and consumable products at the Lufkin and El Paso state supported living centers (due dates October 23, 2026, and July 13, 2026, respectively) and a statewide supplemental foods procurement (due March 19, 2026, with a maximum value of $4.5 million over three years). Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods (due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections requested bids for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, at $13.75 per case from the prior purchase). Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids with hundreds of line items (due June 15, 2026, and June 5, 2026, respectively). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic areas under IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026, with 382 line items). All contracts include FOB Destination delivery, firm fixed pricing for initial periods, and compliance with USDA standards and federal nutrition guidelines; many require references, insurance certifications, and E-Verify compliance.
