UNSPSC 50221109: Maize or corn grain

A cereal grain

UNSPSC 50221109 Maize or corn grain is a Commodity code covering grain products purchased by state and local school districts and other public bodies to support food service operations. The Butts County School System's School Nutrition Program Food Bid, posted in April 2026, exemplifies the actual purchasing pattern under this code: sealed bids for food supplies including grain commodities to be delivered across multiple school locations over a one-year contract period with renewal options. School districts represent the primary buyer category under this code, procuring grain and grain-based food products as part of their contracted meal programs. The solicitation structure — multi-location delivery, firm pricing tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports or Consumer Price Index adjustments, and compliance with federal Buy American and HACCP requirements — reflects how public food service operations source commodity grains for school meals.

Recent activity under the code centers on Georgia, with the Butts County School System's IFB due May 26, 2026, seeking bids through June 10, 2026 award notification for the School Year 2026-2027 contract period beginning July 1, 2026. No incumbent vendor is identified in the available solicitation materials, and no specific budget range or set-aside designations are disclosed. The procurement involves six school locations and allows the district to award single or multiple vendors, with renewal options available for up to four additional one-year terms based on vendor performance. Pricing must include all packing and transportation costs on a freight-on-board basis with no separate fuel charges, and all bids exceeding $25,000 are subject to debarment and suspension verification.
