UNSPSC 50221120: Morocho 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 the scarcity of rain and adaptation to this climate, which has its origin in the provinces of Chota, Cajabamba and Cajamarca in Peru.

UNSPSC 50221120 Morocho starchy corn is a Commodity code covering prepared or processed corn products for institutional food service. State and local procurement activity under this code focuses overwhelmingly on fresh produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, and related food items sourced for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and correctional institutions. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for morocho starchy corn specifically. Instead, the code is tagged to a broad set of grocery and produce solicitations that name fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, eggs, and comprehensive food service line items as the actual goods being procured. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests the code sees little or no targeted purchasing activity for this specific commodity at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies are predominantly Georgia and Texas school districts and boards of education (Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, and others), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Head Start of Greater Dallas, and independent school districts in Texas (Northside Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District). A small number of state-level solicitations appear under Georgia and Texas state procurement offices. Geographic spread is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables (due June 22, 2026), the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid solicitation for fresh produce across 40 line items including carrots, potatoes, and tomatoes (due June 16, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple IFBs for bulk white potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots for institutional food service (multiple June 2026 deadlines). These solicitations indicate active institutional procurement of fresh produce and basic vegetable commodities, but no matching activity under the morocho starchy corn commodity code itself.
