UNSPSC 50403200: Corn

The type of vegetable known as corn

UNSPSC 50403200 Corn is a Class code that covers fresh produce supply to state and local institutions, though the recent solicitation record shows the code capturing a broader range of fresh vegetable and fruit procurement rather than corn specifically. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts—including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Northside Independent School District (Texas), and multiple Georgia school systems—along with Head Start child-care providers, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and senior services departments. The work solicited includes fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs (including federally funded USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program operations), child care nutrition compliance, institutional food service, and senior center nutrition initiatives. Vendors supply produce in ready-to-eat or minimally processed form with strict quality, traceability, delivery, and food-safety requirements; contracts typically run 12 months with renewal options and require weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school or facility sites with temperature-controlled logistics.

School districts across Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Wisconsin dominate recent activity under the code, with the largest visible procurements spanning 30+ school sites and annual values in the $3–$4 million range. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026) requiring 5,900 weekly servings from farms within 400 miles and Wisconsin, with a 5% diverse-vendor preference; Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for grocery products including produce (due June 24, 2026) valued at approximately $969,460.94 and serving CACFP-compliant child nutrition across a one-year initial term plus four optional renewals; and Northside Independent School District (San Antonio) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 117 campuses five days per week (due May 7, 2026). Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple carrots, potatoes, and sweet potato solicitations for institutional canning and food service (IFBs IW253079, IW253121, IW253099, and IW241979-A) with responses due in June 2026. Bulloch County and Glynn County school systems in Georgia, along with Douglas County Schools' cooperative procurement for 30 districts, show strong regional clustering in Georgia. The code shows active, consistent procurement with high vendor turnover—multiple districts explicitly require all vendors to respond to new RFPs or lose their position, signaling competitive pressure and the need for active market presence.
