UNSPSC 50483244: Pearl white corn purees

The variety of corn known as pearl white corn which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483244 Pearl white corn purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity shown in recent opportunities. While the code nominally describes a single product line — pearl white corn purees — the recent solicitations under this code span broad food procurement for institutional foodservice: prepared foods, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy products, canned vegetables, condiments, grains, beverages, and food service supplies such as containers, napkins, and kitchen items. State and local governments are buying complete foodservice portfolios, not discrete specialty ingredients. The issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), state nutrition and food programs (Illinois, Georgia), and school districts and counties (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia; Texas). The mix skews heavily toward state-level buyers and school nutrition programs. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer across multiple recent solicitations for state supported living centers and state hospitals.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), spanning 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with estimated annual usage of 1 to 24 cases per item; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods for the Department of Community Services (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026), with an eight-truckload requirement and Oregon-fabricated preference; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic areas in Texas (due May 4, 2026). The code shows active, ongoing procurement across multiple issuing bodies and a broad geographic base, though actual solicitation activity does not align with the code's narrow product name.
