UNSPSC 50483254: Seneca horizon corn purees

The variety of corn known as seneca horizon corn which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483254 Seneca horizon corn purees (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of food procurement solicitations currently posted by state and local jurisdictions. The recent opportunities tagged under this code cover broad consumable food and kitchen supplies for institutional food service — including fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, condiments, and single-use service items such as containers, napkins, and straws — rather than corn purees specifically. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, county school districts, departments of corrections, and school nutrition programs across multiple states. The work being solicited ranges from small quarterly or annual food orders for individual state-supported living centers to comprehensive statewide procurement for multiple prison facilities and school systems, with contract values from the low six figures to $4.5 million over three years in the largest cases.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods and supplemental food products for state hospitals and supported living centers, including HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) for 22 line items of prepared foods and service supplies for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, and HHS0016792V2 (due March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated foods for multiple facilities statewide with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections requested bids for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026). Georgia jurisdictions include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods such as peanut butter, canned proteins, and vegetables; Ben Hill County Schools (due June 15, 2026) for school nutrition across four locations; and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026) for nearly 400 line items across five schools. All solicitations require FOB Destination delivery within specified timeframes, firm fixed pricing, and compliance with USDA standards, E-Verify requirements, and debarment certifications. The code shows active procurement activity but the mismatch between the Commodity name and actual work being bought — broad institutional food service rather than a specific corn product — suggests misclassification in the tagging process.
