UNSPSC 50483214: Cotton candy corn purees

The variety of corn known as cotton candy corn which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483214 Cotton candy corn purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code is nominally specific to a confectionery ingredient, yet recent opportunities tagged under it do not reflect this scope. Instead, state and local food service procurement — particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services agencies — consistently solicits for staple food products including canned and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods. The divergence between the code's narrow name and the actual work being purchased suggests either systematic miscoding in state procurement databases or that this particular code is rarely used for its intended commodity. The issuing bodies pursuing food service contracts span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Burke County, Ben Hill County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County schools in Georgia; Douglas County Schools in Georgia), state correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school systems. No vendor names or repeat customers emerge from the recent opportunities block.

Geographic spread is concentrated in Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Ben Hill County school systems, plus Douglas County multi-district cooperative), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with activity also in Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Illinois (Veterans Home in Quincy). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million (RFP due July 13, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) spanning 45 schools and distribution kitchens with firm fixed pricing for a July 2026 through June 2027 contract term; Rockwood R-VI School District's parallel Grocery Items and Grocery Net Off Invoice procurements (both due April 29, 2026) for nearly 1,100 combined line items supporting approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomato products (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026). School nutrition programs dominate the volume, with most contracts running July through June fiscal years and employing firm fixed pricing for the initial period with midterm adjustment provisions tied to USDA pricing indices or consumer price benchmarks.
