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, a Commodity code, encompasses processed corn products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though the recent opportunity record shows no direct solicitations for silver queen corn purees specifically. Instead, the source displays a broad pattern of state and local food procurement activity across produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared items for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state health and human services operations. The mix of issuing bodies reflects institutional food service demand: school districts predominate (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Burke County and Liberty County in Georgia, Fairfax County and Savannah-Chatham in other states, Douglas County in Georgia), with state agencies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, and Georgia state operations. These jurisdictions solicit under broad food categories—fresh produce, frozen items, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and consumables—using IFB, RFP, and RFQ notice types with response windows typically 30–60 days from posting.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Missouri (Rockwood School District), with smaller activity in Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), budgeted at $1.5 million for the prior period; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food (due June 15, 2026); and Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting 32 schools with estimated annual spend of $9 million (due February 18, 2026). These solicitations reflect firm fixed pricing, quarterly or annual contract terms with renewal options, Buy American compliance where applicable, and evaluation favoring lowest responsive bid or best value determination. The code shows active institutional food procurement but limited direct demand specifically for silver queen corn purees as a line item; vendors pursuing this code should focus on broader food-service distributor relationships and institutional produce supply contracts rather than single-commodity specialization.
