UNSPSC 50483213: Champ corn purees

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

UNSPSC 50483213 Champ corn purees, a Commodity code, sees modest recent activity focused on institutional food service procurement by state agencies and school districts. The code nominally describes a single product category — puréed corn — but the recent solicitations tagged under it actually encompass broad consumable food portfolios spanning fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared items alongside food service supplies. Recent opportunities show state agencies and school systems procuring mixed baskets of shelf-stable and perishable foods for facility cafeterias, canteens, kitchens, and on-campus programs rather than corn purées specifically. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, departments of corrections, school nutrition programs, and county service departments. Bidders responding to these opportunities typically face requirements to quote firm fixed unit pricing on hundreds of line items, meet USDA grade standards, deliver within seven days of order or at mutually agreed intervals, submit three verifiable references for similar work, and maintain general liability insurance of $500,000 to $1,000,000. E-Verify compliance, debarment certification, and human trafficking prohibitions are standard compliance requirements across most postings.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional postings in Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple consecutive food and consumable bids — HHS0017872 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (IFB, due August 25, 2026) and HHS0018082 (IFB, due October 23, 2026) for the same facility — covering approximately 20 to 22 line items of mixed foods and service supplies at estimated annual values up to $1.5 million per facility contract period. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a canned-tomatoes bid (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases with Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated preferences at 5 percent; prior purchases at $13.75 per case establish recent pricing. In Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026 sealed bids for opening June 8) each issued comprehensive school nutrition food bids spanning nearly 400 line items across five school locations, with Buy American Act requirements and Child Nutrition compliance. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items including proteins, grains, and vegetables. No recent opportunity posted under this code specifies champ corn purées or corn purées as a line item, indicating the code's alignment with actual state and local buying is weak or the tagging is coincidental to broader food procurement categorization.
