UNSPSC 50483258: Silver queen corn purees

The variety of corn known as silver queen corn which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483258 Silver queen corn purees, Commodity code, encompasses shelf-stable processed corn products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations serving state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and public health facilities. The code does not see active recent solicitation activity under its specific product name; instead, state and local buyers are soliciting broader food and consumable product categories where corn purees would be one line item among dozens or hundreds in institutional food service contracts. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services agencies operating residential care facilities, state correctional departments, school district nutrition programs, and county social services departments. Solicitations typically bundle processed food products—including frozen vegetables, grains, proteins, dairy items, and condiments—under single comprehensive IFBs or RFQs rather than as category-specific procurements. Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet USDA grade standards, FDA compliance requirements, specific shelf-life and packaging specifications, and delivery timelines ranging from seven days to 30 days from order receipt, with pricing submitted on a firm, fixed, all-inclusive basis and delivery required as FOB Destination.

Recent institutional food service solicitations are concentrated in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products serving state-supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso (HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026; HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026), as well as a statewide IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state supported living centers (HHS0016792V2, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products for distribution across five geographic areas (304T-26-300CF, response deadline extended to May 4, 2026). Georgia school districts in Ben Hill County and Burke County Schools each issued comprehensive food bids for their nutrition programs (PE61000NONST2027000000006 due June 15, 2026; PE55037NONST2027000000007 due June 5, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (PE77023NONST2027000000782 due October 19, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato procurement (S2910000017145 due June 19, 2026) and the State of Illinois solicited weekly food supply for a facility (27497DVAQUINCB52821 due June 26, 2026). A broad-scope Georgia state procurement for food, supplies, and kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009 due June 22, 2026) references detailed specifications in an attached document. Corn purees as a discrete product line do not appear in any posted solicitation summary; the code is functionally subsumed within larger institutional food service aggregations where pursuit requires competitive pricing on full product baskets rather than category specialization.
