UNSPSC 50483240: Merlin corn purees

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

UNSPSC 50483240 Merlin corn purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—specialty corn purees—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. Those solicitations center on broad food-supply contracts for schools, corrections departments, and health-and-human-services facilities, encompassing hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and prepared foods, with Merlin corn purees appearing in none of the representative bids. The issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI and Burke County in Missouri; Ben Hill County in Georgia; Muscogee County and Liberty County in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Douglas County in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission; Oregon Department of Corrections; State of Illinois; State of Georgia), and one county corrections system. The geographic spread covers Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri, with Georgia and Texas showing the most recent activity.

Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with historical contract value of $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes—approximately 7,616 cases due June 19, 2026, at $13.75 per case from the prior February 2026 purchase—and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). The code shows no evidence of recent demand specifically for Merlin-brand corn purees or equivalent specialty corn purees as a line item; the mismatch between the code's nominal product and actual solicitation scope suggests this UNSPSC classification does not reliably signal commercial opportunity for puree vendors.
