UNSPSC 50403205: Aspen corn

The variety of corn known as aspen corn

UNSPSC 50403205 Aspen corn is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under recent state and local opportunities. The code name describes a specific agricultural product, but the recent procurement activity recorded under this code encompasses a much broader range of fresh produce and food service supply chains. School districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs are requesting bids and proposals for comprehensive fresh produce portfolios—including apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, eggs, and dozens of other items—delivered on fixed schedules to multiple sites. The code appears to be a misfiled or legacy tag; state and local procurement professionals pursuing opportunities recorded under 50403205 should verify the actual scope documents before committing resources, as the code itself does not reliably signal the work being bought.

Recent solicitations tagged under this code come from school districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri; Texas Department of Criminal Justice institutional food service; Head Start child care programs; and municipal senior services. The issuing bodies include independent school districts (Northside ISD in Texas, Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin, Savannah-Chatham and multiple Georgia county school systems), state agencies (Texas TDCJ, State of Georgia), and specialized nutrition programs (Hillsborough County Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, Head Start of Greater Dallas). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 (Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks, bid due July 29, 2026) seeking 5,900 servings weekly of ready-to-eat produce from local Wisconsin farms with a $0.20 per pound organic preference discount; Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 (Fresh Produce for Child Nutrition, due May 7, 2026) requesting five-day-per-week deliveries to 117 campuses across the San Antonio area with evaluation weighted 35% on price and 25% on extent of goods meeting needs; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (Fresh Produce and Eggs, due March 4, 2026) on behalf of a 30-district Georgia cooperative purchasing consortium with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas. Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, and Wisconsin. Most contracts run July through June aligned to school fiscal years, award decisions within 60 days of bid opening, and include renewal options for up to three to five additional one-year terms contingent on performance.
