UNSPSC 50403202: Alpine corn

The variety of corn known as alpine corn

UNSPSC 50403202 Alpine corn, a Commodity code, does not match the recent state and local solicitations filed under this classification. The source contains no active procurement opportunities for alpine corn itself. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span a broad range of fresh produce procurement — apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, and other commodity vegetables and fruits — issued by school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles across multiple states. The mismatch suggests either classification error in how opportunities were tagged to the code or that the code's nominal scope does not reflect current buying activity in state and local markets.

School districts represent the dominant issuing body across all recent opportunities, with procurement concentrated in Georgia (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Glynn County, Henry County, Liberty County, and Savannah-Chatham County school systems), Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Northside ISD, and TDCJ), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI). Texas Department of Criminal Justice issues commodity-focused procurements for bulk potatoes, carrots, and sweet potatoes for institutional food service. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (response due July 29, 2026) emphasizing Wisconsin-sourced, farm-traced produce with organic pricing preference; Bartow County Schools' RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026); Glynn County Schools' IFB 27-02 for fresh produce across 60 line items (due April 14, 2026); and Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for USDA Child Nutrition–compliant fresh produce with emphasis on Texas-grown items (due May 7, 2026). Head Start of Greater Dallas issued IFB 26-GP for grocery products totaling $969,460.94 estimated value (due June 24, 2026). Most school district procurements require weekly or twice-weekly delivery, HACCP certification, traceability documentation, and compliance with Buy American provisions. Set-asides and preferences vary: some jurisdictions offer preferences for diverse-owned business status (Madison 5%), local/regional sourcing (multiple districts specify 200–400-mile radius requirements), and Texas-based vendors (TDCJ set-asides for service-disabled veteran-owned and Texas-based firms). Payment terms commonly run Net 30 to Net 40, with contracts typically spanning July through June school-year cycles and options for one to four renewal periods. Estimated annual contract values range from $600,000 (Hillsborough County FFVP) to $4.4 million (Douglas County GEC Cooperative Area One) where disclosed.
