UNSPSC 50483251: Radiance corn purees

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

UNSPSC 50483251 Radiance corn purees is a Commodity code that frames prepared and shelf-stable food products for institutional cafeteria, kitchen, and food-service supply chains. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through state health and human services departments operating state supported living centers and state hospitals, county and city departments managing senior services or community support programs, school districts operating nutrition programs across multiple campuses, state departments of corrections supplying prison facilities, and specialized institutional food-service operations. The scope encompasses not only branded or equivalent corn-based food products but also related institutional food procurement that bundles corn purees with broader categories of proteins, vegetables, dairy, condiments, grains, and food-service consumables—reflecting how state and local buyers typically package food contracts by facility or regional demand rather than by single commodity. Pricing structures are firm, fixed unit rates F.O.B. Destination with freight prepaid, and delivery is typically required within seven days of order or within 72 hours where urgent supply is needed; bidders must meet USDA grade standards, FDA compliance, shelf-life minimums (typically 12 months or more), and nutritional labeling requirements, and must provide verifiable references for similar-sized contracts performed in the past five years.
