UNSPSC 50403259: Snowbelle corn

The variety of corn known as snowbelle corn

UNSPSC 50403259 Snowbelle corn, a Commodity code, does not map cleanly to the recent state and local opportunities on file. The source shows no solicitations explicitly naming snowbelle corn, a specific fresh corn variety. Recent activity under this code or related produce commodities shows state and local governments buying fresh fruits and vegetables—primarily through school district nutrition programs, criminal justice system food service, and senior center produce distribution—with emphasis on USDA compliance, traceability, local sourcing where feasible, and ready-to-eat or minimally processed delivery formats.

Issuing bodies soliciting fresh produce span school districts (Northside ISD San Antonio, Hillsborough County Schools Tampa, Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Meriden Public Schools Connecticut, and numerous Georgia county school systems), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), city government (San Antonio senior services), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 Georgia districts, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ). School nutrition programs dominate the recent opportunity volume, with most contracts term-limited to July 1–June 30 academic years, multiple one-year renewal options, and awards split across primary and secondary vendors or line-item basis. Recent opportunities cluster in Texas (TDCJ, Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Northside ISD, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Georgia (multiple county school systems including Bulloch, Dougherty, Glynn, Bryan, Muscogee, Douglas, Liberty, Henry, Early County, and state procurement), and Florida (Hillsborough County). A Georgia RFP (PE55645NONST2026000000009) for food, supplies, and kitchen products posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, and a June 2026 State of Texas carrot IFB (IW253079) indicate ongoing commodity-level procurement, though neither explicitly names the issuing body or snowbelle corn. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin posted an RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program compliance, local sourcing within 400 miles, weekly deliveries of ready-to-eat produce, and Wisconsin diversity procurement preferences. Representative opportunities reflect school nutrition emphasis on USDA Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, liability insurance ($500,000–$2,000,000), firm pricing for contract duration with potential six-month escalation clauses tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data, delivery to multiple school sites 5–7 days per week between 6:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., and evaluation weighting cost at 30–50%, product quality at 15–25%, and service delivery at 10–20%.
