UNSPSC 50403237: Lancelot corn

The variety of corn known as lancelot corn

UNSPSC 50403237 Lancelot corn is a Commodity code that describes fresh corn products sold to state and local institutions. State and local governments procure fresh produce under this code primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations under or near this code span fresh produce categories broadly: school districts source produce for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs; correctional facilities, Head Start centers, senior services programs, and military-adjacent institutions buy institutional-grade fresh vegetables and specialty crops. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (elementary through high school), state departments of criminal justice, county boards of education, and independent school districts, with scattered activity from city and county human services departments and state procurement offices. School nutrition programs account for the largest share of recent activity, driven by federally funded meal programs and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant cycles.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Georgia and Texas. The Georgia School Nutrition Programs have issued multiple RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce across Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bulloch County, Bryan County, Glynn County, Douglas County (through cooperative), Henry County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County school systems between March and May 2026. Texas activity includes TDCJ bids for carrots and sweet potatoes (IFB IW253079, IW253121, IW241979, IW242176) posted in June and February–March 2026, Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (due May 7, 2026), McAllen ISD RFP 2026-1029 (due March 6, 2026), and Austin ISD RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages (due March 11, 2026). Outside the Southeast, activity includes Hillsborough County Public Schools, Tampa, Florida (FFVP procurement, March 11 deadline), Madison Metropolitan School District, Wisconsin (RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, due July 29, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP (June 24, 2026), Meriden Public Schools, Connecticut (RFP 02641, due February 25, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri (grocery items including produce, April 29, 2026). Most of these procurements specify weekly or multi-day-per-week delivery to school campuses, USDA Buy American compliance, traceability and HACCP documentation, and evaluation heavily weighted toward price (30–50 percent) with secondary factors including product quality, delivery reliability, and vendor experience. Contract terms typically run one school year (July 1 through June 30 of the following year) with options for one to four additional one-year renewals.
