UNSPSC 50403224: Golden cross bantam corn

The variety of corn known as golden cross bantam corn

UNSPSC 50403224 Golden cross bantam corn is a Commodity code that spans a narrow, specialized produce item with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for golden cross bantam corn. Instead, the sourced records document state and local buying of broad fresh-produce categories—apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and mixed fresh fruits and vegetables—issued by Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County), Illinois state facilities (Department of Corrections, Department of Mental Health), Wisconsin school districts (Madison Metropolitan), Texas local agencies (Collier County), and non-profit food programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual procurement activity in the records provided, which focus on high-volume produce procurement for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and facility canteens rather than specialty sweet-corn varieties.

State and local buying under this code, when it occurs, would target institutional food service contractors supplying state correctional facilities, residential living centers, mental health facilities, school districts, and senior service programs. Texas issues the majority of recent solicitations—multiple fresh-produce RFQs from the Department of Criminal Justice for food warehouses serving incarcerated populations and from the Health and Human Services Commission for state-supported living centers—followed by Georgia school-district activity (Bartow County School System RFP 10-2026-019, Dougherty County Board of Education IFB, Bryan County School Nutrition Program sealed bid, Early County Board of Education RFP). Illinois facilities also procure fresh produce via small-purchase mechanisms. Recent illustrative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IW267376 Fresh Fruit & Vegetables for Palestine (due October 19, 2026), the Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites (due June 16, 2026), and the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (due July 29, 2026). Golden cross bantam corn itself does not appear in the recent opportunities documented; procurement activity centers on commodity-level commodity codes covering broader produce families rather than specific heirloom or specialty corn varieties.
