UNSPSC 50221109: Maize or corn grain

A cereal grain

UNSPSC 50221109 Maize or corn grain is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers primarily staple grain products purchased by school districts for child nutrition programs, though the code shows limited direct solicitation volume. Recent opportunities posted under this code include school district food bids that encompass broad grocery categories spanning grains, cereals, snacks, vegetables, meats, and dairy across multiple line items—meaning corn grain appears as one product among hundreds in comprehensive child nutrition solicitations rather than as a standalone procurement. The issuing bodies are school districts and their nutrition services arms: Butts County School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Douglas County School System in Georgia have all posted bids or RFPs for food service supplies in the 2026-27 school year. These are multi-location districts serving thousands of daily meal participants with firm-price contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast, with recent opportunities from Georgia and Missouri posted between February and April 2026. Representative solicitations include Butts County School System's IFB for School Nutrition Program food due May 26, 2026, serving six school locations with sealed bids submitted to Jackson, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items procurement due April 29, 2026, via electronic submission through NUTRIKIDS for delivery to a district of nearly 19,000 students in St. Louis County, Missouri; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 districts across two Georgia areas, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, and sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. All three procurements emphasize firm pricing for the full contract term, require federal compliance certifications including debarment verification, and award on a line-item basis allowing multiple vendors. No set-aside designations are identified in these solicitations.
