UNSPSC 50496760: Organic spring snow corn purees

The variety of organic corn known as organic spring snow corn which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50496760 Organic spring snow corn purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specialized processed-corn product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear little relationship to that narrow scope. The opportunities instead reflect a much broader food-service procurement pattern: state and local agencies are buying consumable food products and food-service supplies for institutional feeding programs — state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and state hospitals. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services departments, state correctional agencies, school districts, and county governments. The work being solicited includes proteins (fresh, frozen, and pre-cooked), dairy products, canned and fresh vegetables, grains, condiments, baking supplies, and disposable food-service items such as containers, napkins, and gloves. Scope commonly emphasizes USDA grade compliance, Buy American provisions where federally funded, HACCP food-safety plans, and delivery within seven days of order or at scheduled intervals. Pricing is typically firm and fixed for initial contract periods with adjustments permitted at renewal tied to third-party indices such as the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (Food and Consumable products for HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million), the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, at $13.75 per case in the prior February 2026 purchase), and Ben Hill County Schools' food-bid IFB (due June 15, 2026, covering fresh produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations). Illinois and Georgia have also posted recent food-service solicitations. The code shows no activity meaningfully distinct from institutional food-service procurement; the mismatch between the code's nominal "organic spring snow corn purees" scope and the actual buying pattern suggests misclassification by issuing agencies rather than meaningful organic-products specialization.
