UNSPSC 50483227: How sweet it is corn purees

The variety of corn known as how sweet it is corn which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483227 How sweet it is corn purees is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The source records show no recent solicitations for corn purees or puree products of any kind. Instead, the 16 posted opportunities span broad food procurement for schools, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers—including canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, cafeteria food products, and supplemental food and consumables for institutional foodservice operations. The mismatch between the code's narrow nominal scope (corn purees specifically) and the actual breadth of food categories being purchased suggests either a data-tagging error at the issuing bodies or that this particular commodity sits within a larger, more generalized food purchasing code family in state and local practice.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs across multiple states—Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—along with state correctional and health agencies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Illinois Veterans Home. Solicitation types are primarily IFBs and RFQs with response dates clustering between February and June 2026. Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB, due July 13, 2026, prior period value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000016089 for canned tomato paste (ITB, due March 9, 2026, approximately 1,904 cases), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens (IFB, due April 27, 2026). Contract values for school nutrition procurements typically range from several hundred thousand to several million dollars annually, with the Texas HHSC supplemental food procurement capped at $4.5 million over three years and the Douglas County RFP for food supply and distribution estimated at approximately $9 million annually.
