UNSPSC 50403231: Incredible corn

The variety of corn known as incredible corn

UNSPSC 50403231 Incredible corn is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure fresh produce—specifically corn and other vegetables—for child nutrition, institutional food service, and senior programs. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show schools, criminal justice agencies, and senior services sourcing fresh corn and mixed produce (carrots, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, fresh fruits and vegetables) directly from producers and food service distributors, with emphasis on local sourcing where feasible, USDA compliance, and ready-to-eat or pre-processed delivery. The mix of issuing bodies includes school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Northside Independent, Hillsborough County, Austin Independent, Douglas County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Glynn County, McAllen Independent, Meriden Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, Liberty County, Early County, Bulloch County), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Head Start programs, senior centers (City of San Antonio), and state procurement offices (Georgia, Texas). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, often seeking fresh produce for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP), and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) compliance.

Geographic spread spans primarily Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri, with the heaviest recent activity in Texas (TDCJ bulk procurements, multiple school districts) and Georgia (state agency bids, multiple county school systems). Recent representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4163, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for elementary students, bids due July 29, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP, grocery products including frozen and fresh produce, sealed bids due June 24, 2026), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB IW253099 and IW253121, white potatoes and sweet potatoes for institutional canning, bids due June 23, 2026), Bartow County School System Georgia (RFP 10-2026-019, local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, proposals due June 22, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education Georgia (sealed bids for fresh produce covering 40 line items, bids due June 16, 2026), and Northside Independent School District Texas (RFP 2026-048, fresh produce for child nutrition with USDA Buy American compliance, proposals due May 7, 2026). School nutrition contracts typically run July through June, feature weekly or twice-weekly delivery, enforce firm pricing or market-indexed pricing with escalation caps, require minimum $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability insurance, and award on lowest responsive bid or best-value criteria. Set-asides for disadvantaged businesses are not common in the recent postings; however, some districts apply geographic preference (local/regional sourcing within 200–400 miles) and preference discounts for organic or Texas-grown produce. Activity is steady and recurring—these solicitations appear annually or biennially as districts renew school-year contracts.
