UNSPSC 50221118: Chullpi starchy corn

One of the varieties of corn with the greatest productive distribution, they are differentiated by their yield and quality, cultivated in the high Andean areas of the sierra, with tolerance to low rainfall and adaptation to this climate, which has its origin in the province of San Marcos, Cajamarca in Peru.

UNSPSC 50221118 Chullpi starchy corn, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh and processed starchy corn products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, early childhood education facilities, and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show actual purchasing concentrated on fresh produce—particularly fresh fruits and vegetables for school meals, child nutrition programs, and senior services—rather than chullpi corn specifically. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Northside Independent, Austin Independent, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County, Bryan County, Douglas County, Henry County, Glynn County, Dougherty County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Rockwood R-VI, Early County Board of Education, McAllen Independent, Hillsborough County Public Schools, and Meriden Public Schools), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller), Head Start organizations, cities (San Antonio), and counties (Bartow, Bryan, Douglas, Glynn, Henry, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham). Most recent opportunities are RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for fresh produce delivery to school cafeterias and nutrition programs, with contract values ranging from $600,000 (Hillsborough County FFVP) to $3.1 million (Meriden Public Schools) and terms typically running July through June with one to four renewal options.

The code shows minimal direct activity for chullpi starchy corn; no recent solicitations explicitly name chullpi corn as a line item. The bulk of recent activity centers on fresh produce supply chains for school nutrition—apples, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, strawberries, broccoli, lettuce, and other commodities—with geographic concentration in Georgia (Bartow County Schools, Bulloch County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Douglas County, Glynn County, Henry County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, State of Georgia IFBs), Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Northside ISD, TDCJ carrots and potatoes, Texas Comptroller cafeteria foods), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty fruits and vegetables, posted April 13, 2026 with proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated budget $600,000; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts in two Georgia areas, posted February 4, 2026 with proposals due March 4, 2026, estimated spending $5.5 million combined; and Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 117 campuses in San Antonio, posted April 14, 2026 with proposals due May 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity; procurement professionals should verify whether chullpi corn aligns with their product capability or consider monitoring broader fresh vegetable and produce categories where documented demand is higher.
