UNSPSC 50403239: Medley corn

The variety of corn known as medley corn

UNSPSC 50403239 Medley corn, a Commodity code, names a specific produce item that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service and nutrition program operations. Recent solicitations show that medley corn appears within larger produce and food product bids serving institutional food service — state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The code sits within a broader procurement ecosystem where medley corn and similar vegetables are bundled with other fresh produce, frozen items, and prepared foods under single solicitations or as line items within multiproduct food contracts. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state correctional departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections), school districts and school nutrition programs (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bartow County School System, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County School Nutrition Program, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County), and other local food-service operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). No single issuing body dominates; procurement activity is fragmented across multiple institutional food service verticals.

Recent opportunities show institutional buyers sourcing fresh produce, frozen vegetables, and prepared foods across Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which bundles prepared foods and food service supplies for canteen and campus operations; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IW267420 solicitation for fresh fruits and vegetables to the Snyder Food Warehouse (response due October 14, 2026); the Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables during the 2026-2027 school year (response due June 22, 2026); and the Dougherty County Board of Education's fresh produce bid for 24 school nutrition sites (response due June 16, 2026). The sourcing emphasis varies — some solicitations require locational preferences (produce within 400 miles) or organic and low-sodium specifications, while others focus on volume, delivery reliability, and cost compliance. Most contracts run one year with renewal options; many impose prevailing wage, E-Verify, liability insurance, and USDA compliance requirements typical of state and local food service procurement.
