UNSPSC 50403202: Alpine corn

The variety of corn known as alpine corn

UNSPSC 50403202 Alpine corn is a Commodity code covering fresh and frozen vegetables, particularly specialty produce varieties, that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct alpine corn procurement; instead, the opportunities span a broader family of fresh produce, frozen vegetables, and food service items that institutional buyers source on an ongoing basis. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related produce codes include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state-supported living centers), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (institutional food warehouses), Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health (correctional and mental health facilities), state departments of education and school districts (including Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin, Bartow County and Dougherty County in Georgia, Early County in Georgia, and Bryan County in Georgia), county governments (Collier County, Florida), and regional consortia (Marion Health Care Coalition in Illinois, Head Start of Greater Dallas). Texas agencies and school districts in Georgia and Texas dominate recent activity.
