UNSPSC 50403200: Corn

The type of vegetable known as corn

UNSPSC 50403200 Corn, a Class code, represents a narrow commodity classification, but state and local procurement activity under this code is sparse and tangential. Recent solicitations tagged to this code involve fresh produce procurement broadly — fruits, vegetables, and related food service items — rather than corn specifically. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetables to regional food warehouses (Palestine, Snyder, Wynne) and for bulk white potatoes and sweet potatoes for canning, while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited consumable foods and groceries for state-supported living centers, and Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health have sought fresh produce for institutional food service. School districts in Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin, along with the City of San Antonio, Marion Health Care Coalition, and Head Start of Greater Dallas, have issued RFPs and IFBs for fresh fruits and vegetables to support child nutrition, senior services, and institutional meal programs. Issuing bodies span state departments (TDCJ, HHSC, Illinois DOC), county school districts and boards of education (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County in Georgia; Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin), cities (San Antonio), and nonprofit organizations (Head Start, Marion Health Care Coalition). The code shows minimal direct activity targeting corn as a discrete commodity; recent opportunities focus on broader fresh-produce and food-service supply chains rather than corn procurement per se.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted four solicitations for fresh fruits and vegetables and bulk potato procurement between late June and early October 2026, while Texas Health and Human Services issued multiple IFBs for consumables and groceries at state-supported living centers (Lufkin, Mexia) due in August and September. Georgia school districts — Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, and Early County — issued RFPs and sealed-bid solicitations for fresh produce during May and June 2026, with contract terms running through June 2027 and beyond. Illinois Department of Corrections posted an RFQ for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026, small business set-aside), and Illinois Department of Mental Health sought fresh fruits and vegetables for Madden Mental Health Center (RFP 27444DHSMENTHB53608, due August 14, 2026). Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin issued RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026) with sourcing restricted to within 400 miles and within Wisconsin, and Head Start of Greater Dallas solicited grocery products including frozen foods and produce (IFB 26-GP, due June 24, 2026, estimated value $969,460.94). The code shows no recent activity directly naming corn as a line item or primary procurement target; state and local buyers use broader fresh-produce and food-service codes when purchasing corn or corn-based products as part of institutional meal programs.
