UNSPSC 50403221: Earlivee corn

The variety of corn known as earlivee corn

UNSPSC 50403221 Early Vegetables—Earlivee Corn (Commodity) sees significant recent activity in school nutrition procurement, with state and local governments buying fresh produce to support federal child meal programs rather than earlivee corn specifically. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitation for earlivee corn; instead, state and local buyers are procuring mixed fresh produce, with corn appearing only as one line item among dozens of vegetables and fruits in broader food service contracts. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, appearing in the majority of recent solicitations across multiple states, with secondary buyers including state departments of criminal justice procuring bulk produce for institutional food service. A small number of cities and counties appear as single solicitations.

The code shows strong recent activity across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs as the primary use case. Representative opportunities include the Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) seeking fresh produce through RFP 2026-048 (response due May 7, 2026), the Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting sealed bids for 40 produce line items including carrots through an IFB due June 16, 2026, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting 1,200 tons of carrots through IFB IW241979-A (response due March 17, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) soliciting specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program through RFP 26039RFPDST (response due March 11, 2026). State-level Georgia procurement for fresh produce appears through multiple invitation-for-bid notices. Pricing in school contracts frequently emphasizes cost plus delivery, with geographic preference for domestic or regional sourcing and USDA compliance mandatory. The code shows no standout incumbent vendors or set-aside patterns across the recent opportunities.
