UNSPSC 50403252: Seneca brave corn

The variety of corn known as seneca brave corn

UNSPSC 50403252 Seneca brave corn, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce—fruits, vegetables, and eggs—for school nutrition programs, child care food service, and institutional feeding, with no traceable connection to the narrow commodity name. School districts, county boards of education, and specialized agencies including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Head Start organizations are the primary issuing bodies. The scope spans ready-to-eat and bulk produce delivery (apples, carrots, sweet potatoes, lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, berries, potatoes, onions, and mixed fresh fruits and vegetables) with strict quality, temperature, traceability, and food-safety compliance requirements including HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, and delivery to multiple school or institutional sites. Pricing models vary: some solicitations use firm fixed unit pricing, others employ cost-plus-fixed-fee structures, and several benchmark to USDA market indices or wholesale terminal reports. Contract terms typically run one school or fiscal year (July through June) with renewal options extending two to four additional years. Insurance minimums range from $500,000 to $2 million general liability depending on scope.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with scattered opportunities in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, and other states. Representative solicitations include the Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (IFB, due July 29, 2026), seeking 5,900 weekly servings for elementary students under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with a 5% preference for Wisconsin-certified diverse-owned vendors; the Bartow County School System (Georgia) RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposal due June 22, 2026, award July 20, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB IW253099 for white potatoes in bulk for institutional canning (due June 23, 2026); the Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat products totaling approximately $969,460.94 across five potential vendor slots (pre-bid April 16, 2026, sealed bids due June 24, 2026); and the Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 117 campuses five days weekly (due May 7, 2026, award contingent on Board approval). Cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative, Texas cooperative contracts) appear frequently, extending single-source contracts to multiple districts within and across states.
