UNSPSC 50192112: Popped corn

UNSPSC 50192112 Popped corn is a Commodity code whose recent solicitations show state and local governments buying broad food-supply and grocery-item packages for school nutrition and institutional cafeteria operations, rather than popped corn as a standalone product. The State of Georgia and multiple school districts—including Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri and Douglas County School System in Georgia—are soliciting grocery items, fresh produce, eggs, and main-line food-service distribution that span snacks, fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with state agencies and cooperative purchasing vehicles (the GEC Buying Cooperative) also active. The scope of work encompasses procurement of food supplies and ingredients to support daily meal service across hundreds or thousands of students, with vendors required to meet firm pricing, delivery scheduling, insurance, and federal compliance requirements.

Recent activity centers in Georgia and Missouri. The Douglas County School System in Georgia has issued two major RFPs—one for fresh produce and eggs (estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across 30 districts, response due March 4, 2026) and a second for main-line food supply and distribution services (estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million, response due February 18, 2026). Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri solicited grocery items for the 2026–27 school year encompassing over 900 line items, with electronic bids due April 29, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products RFP (response due June 22, 2026). Multi-year renewal options and line-item award structures are standard; school districts typically evaluate on lowest responsive bid, compliance, product quality, and service capacity rather than small-business set-asides.
