UNSPSC 50403262: Sugar and gold corn

The variety of corn known as sugar & gold corn

UNSPSC 50403262 Sugar and gold corn is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as fresh produce for student meal programs, senior services, and institutional food service operations rather than as a specialized agricultural commodity. Recent solicitations under this code span school districts across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri seeking fresh produce—including corn, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and mixed vegetables—delivered to cafeterias, centralized distribution points, and senior centers. Issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Glynn County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, and others), institutional food service operators (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and municipal or county purchasing offices (City of San Antonio, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Northside Independent School District, Austin Independent School District). The code shows no activity among transit authorities, special-purpose districts, or state-level procurement agencies acting alone—issuance is driven by school districts and child nutrition programs.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary opportunities in Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (response due July 29, 2026), seeking weekly deliveries of 5,900 servings of ready-to-eat produce with 400-mile Wisconsin sourcing and organic preference; Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for grocery products including frozen foods and produce under CACFP requirements (approximately $969,460.94 estimated value, response due June 24, 2026); Bartow County Schools RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables with delivery to central warehouse and 400-mile sourcing preference (response due June 22, 2026); Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce supporting child nutrition across 83 elementary, 21 middle, and 13 high schools in San Antonio (response due May 7, 2026); and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million (response due March 4, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple IFBs for potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots for institutional canning and food service (response dates June 23, 2026 and earlier). Activity is steady with high volume in spring (March through May) ahead of fiscal-year contracts beginning July 1; multi-year renewals (typically two to four additional one-year options) are standard, and awards frequently go to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
