UNSPSC 50483205: Aspen corn purees

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

UNSPSC 50483205 Aspen corn purees, Commodity tier, appears in state and local procurement primarily as part of broader food-supply contracts for institutional food service operations—state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments procure this code alongside dozens or hundreds of other packaged food items rather than as a standalone line item; the code's specific product (aspen corn purees) does not surface in the representative recent opportunities available, suggesting it is either bundled within larger consumables categories or uncommonly solicited as a line-item commodity in its own right. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears twice in the block), state correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of education (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of institutional end-users. The scope of work spans the full range of institutional food service—fresh, frozen, canned, and dry goods; prepared foods; beverages; condiments; and disposable service supplies—with delivery typically F.O.B. Destination within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, bids due October 23, 2026), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services (35 line items, quotes due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a 5% preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-domiciled bidders (bids due June 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB for school food products across multiple categories with a Buy American Act requirement (bids due June 15, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia solicited nearly 400 line items of school nutrition groceries (sealed bids due June 5, 2026). The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to supply Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouses encompassed 382 line items across five geographic regions (extended response deadline May 4, 2026). State and local buyers typically require firm, fixed pricing over initial contract terms, F.O.B. Destination delivery with freight prepaid, product compliance with USDA or FDA standards, and minimum three references from vendors; many specify Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, liability insurance floors of $500,000 to $1,000,000, and E-Verify employment verification, particularly for school districts and state institutions.
