UNSPSC 50403254: Seneca horizon corn

The variety of corn known as seneca horizon corn

UNSPSC 50403254 Seneca horizon corn is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity primarily as part of broader fresh produce solicitations for school nutrition programs, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct activity specifically tied to corn alone. The code name "Seneca horizon corn" refers to a specific corn variety, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code or closely related produce categories reflect school districts, county education systems, and institutional food service operations procuring fresh vegetables and fruits for child nutrition programs—including apples, carrots, potatoes, strawberries, lettuce, broccoli, and other produce items alongside corn when specified. The work being solicited involves sourcing and delivering fresh produce meeting USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable standards, with vendors required to provide temperature-controlled delivery to school campuses, maintain HACCP certification, comply with Buy American provisions, and meet detailed food safety and quality specifications. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education across multiple states, with occasional state-level procurement by departments managing institutional food service for correctional facilities or state agencies.

Georgia school districts dominate recent activity under related produce codes, with multiple solicitations from Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County Schools, Henry County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Douglas County Schools all posting RFPs or IFBs for fresh produce between February and July 2026. Texas school districts including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District also solicited fresh produce during the same period, along with Head Start of Greater Dallas and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posting vegetable-specific bids (carrots, white potatoes, sweet potatoes) in June 2026. Florida's Hillsborough County Public Schools issued an RFP for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program in April 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin and Rockwood School District in Missouri also solicited fresh produce in 2026. Representative opportunities include Bartow County Schools RFP 10-2026-019 (posted May 21, 2026; due June 22, 2026) seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles with delivery to a central warehouse; Dougherty County Board of Education sealed bid procurement (posted May 19, 2026; due June 16, 2026) for 40 fresh produce line items including apples, carrots, potatoes, and strawberries for 24 school nutrition sites; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (posted February 4, 2026; due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in Georgia totaling approximately $5.5 million annually. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted multiple vegetable bids in June 2026 for carrots (IFB IW253079), white potatoes (IFB IW253099), and sweet potatoes (IFB IW253121), and previously solicited bulk carrots (IFB IW241979-A) in April 2026 for 1.2 million pounds. Geographic concentration centers on Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Missouri, and Connecticut. Vendor requirements consistently include GAP or HACCP certification, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million), weekly or twice-weekly temperature-controlled deliveries to multiple sites, traceability documentation, compliance with Buy American provisions, and pricing indexed to USDA market reports or submitted as firm fixed rates.
