UNSPSC 50403204: Argent corn

The variety of corn known as argent corn

UNSPSC 50403204 Argent corn, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of fresh produce and food commodities for institutional food service operations across correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and public health facilities. The code encompasses not only corn products but fresh fruits, vegetables, and related fresh produce supplied under food service contracts. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies buying fresh produce on regular delivery schedules, with emphasis on USDA-grade compliance, food safety certifications, delivery logistics coordination, and pricing structures that typically include transportation and handling costs on FOB Destination terms.

State agencies, school districts, and correctional systems dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as repeat buyers in recent months. School nutrition programs in Georgia (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County) and Illinois (Madden Mental Health Center) solicited fresh produce in spring and summer 2026. Collier County, Florida pursued food service concessions via Invitation to Negotiate at North Collier Regional Park. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetables for multiple food warehouses (Wynne, Snyder, Palestine) under IFBs with October 2026 response dates; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFBs for consumables and food service groceries for Mexia and Lufkin State Supported Living Centers with August 2026 deadlines; Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia) seeking fresh produce bids for 24 school nutrition sites with June 16, 2026 response date; and Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) requesting fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under RFB 4163 with July 29, 2026 due date, including a $0.20 per pound organic preference discount and geographic sourcing within 400 miles. Prevailing wage, insurance, food-safety compliance, and traceability documentation are standard contract requirements across jurisdictions.
