UNSPSC 50403244: Pearl white corn

The variety of corn known as pearl white corn

UNSPSC 50403244 Pearl white corn (Commodity) is rarely solicited under this specific code in state and local procurement; recent opportunities do not show direct procurement of pearl white corn as a standalone commodity. The source contains no recent state or local opportunities explicitly naming pearl white corn. Instead, recent activity under produce-related codes spans broader fresh produce categories—fresh fruits and vegetables for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and corrections department warehouses—with corn appearing only as an incidental ingredient within frozen or prepared foods (chicken wings, french fries, tortilla chips) or as part of general produce aggregations. The code itself sits at the most granular tier of the UNSPSC taxonomy and reflects a highly specialized input; state and local procurement offices tend to aggregate produce buys at higher taxonomy levels (fresh vegetables families, prepared foods) rather than specify individual commodity varieties.

The geographic and issuing-body profile emerges from parallel fresh-produce solicitations in the dataset. Texas agencies—particularly the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supporting living centers), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (food warehouse and facility supply), and independent school districts—dominate recent activity, with secondary volume from Georgia school nutrition programs (Dougherty County, Bartow County, Bryan County, Early County), Illinois corrections and mental health facilities, and scattered municipal and special-district buyers (Collier County Parks, Madison Metropolitan School District, Head Start of Greater Dallas). No recent opportunities name pearl white corn specifically. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor aggregate produce solicitations at the Family (50403000 Vegetables) or Class level rather than expect standalone demand for this commodity variant; when corn appears in state and local food-service contracts, it typically enters through prepared-food or bulk-ingredient channels with higher volumes and lower specification precision than specialty corn varieties command.
