UNSPSC 50403220: Double gem corn

The variety of corn known as double gem corn

UNSPSC 50403220 Double gem corn, a Commodity code, addresses the procurement of fresh produce for institutional food service, though the source shows scant direct activity under this specific code and instead reflects broad demand across school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and corrections agencies for fresh vegetables including corn varieties, carrots, potatoes, and mixed produce. State and local governments soliciting under this family source fresh produce primarily through school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Northside Independent, Austin Independent, Savannah-Chatham, McAllen Independent, Meriden Public Schools), county boards of education (Bartow, Dougherty, Bryan, Bulloch, Muscogee, Glynn, Liberty, Henry, Douglas), and specialized agencies including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Head Start of Greater Dallas, and the City of San Antonio's Department of Human Services. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, reflecting USDA National School Lunch Program and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding that drives substantial recurring institutional demand for fresh produce.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, and other states. Recent representative opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (response due July 29, 2026), requiring weekly delivery of approximately 5,900 servings for elementary students with 400-mile sourcing radius and Wisconsin-origin preferences; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple IFBs for carrots, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes (responses due June 23, 2026 and earlier dates) to supply bulk institutional food service across five warehouse regions; the Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (response due June 22, 2026) emphasizing 400-mile sourcing within Georgia; and Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (response due May 7, 2026) serving 117 campuses across the San Antonio area with five-day-per-week delivery. Contracts typically run twelve months (July through June school-year cycles or calendar year for corrections facilities) with options for renewal, specify cost-plus or unit-price structures indexed to USDA market reports or terminal wholesale prices, require HACCP plans and traceability documentation, and prioritize domestic sourcing under Buy American provisions.
