The variety of corn known as nk-199 corn which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483242 Corn purees is a Commodity code that encompasses prepared corn products supplied to state institutions, schools, and public facilities as part of broader food-service and nutrition procurement. State and local governments buy corn purees primarily as part of larger consumables and food-supply contracts serving cafeterias, dining facilities, and food-service operations at state supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and public health institutions. These purchases are typically embedded within comprehensive food-service IFBs rather than as standalone line items, and vendors must meet USDA standards, FDA compliance, and nutritional requirements including sodium and shelf-life specifications.

Recent activity under this code spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice) issuing the largest and most frequent solicitations. The Texas HHS Lufkin State Supported Living Center issued IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017872 (due August 25, 2026), both encompassing prepared foods and food service supplies for fiscal year 2027 operations; the El Paso State Supported Living Center issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and potential three-year value of $4.5 million across supplemental food contracts. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive school nutrition procurement across multiple schools under Buy American Act compliance, and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) issued a line-item food procurement (due June 5, 2026) spanning nearly 400 items across five schools. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026) with 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods, and the State of Illinois issued a quarterly weekly food order (due June 26, 2026) for the July-September period. Most vendors must provide three verifiable references for similar contracts, certify non-debarment and E-Verify compliance, carry liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence, and maintain HACCP plans with rapid recall accessibility.
