UNSPSC 50403262: Sugar and gold corn

The variety of corn known as sugar & gold corn

UNSPSC 50403262 Sugar and gold corn, a Commodity code, encompasses consumable fresh produce and prepared food items that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations—including state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and mental health facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing fresh produce (fruits, vegetables, and prepared items), produce-based snacks, and food service supplies under this code, with delivery and quality standards tightly specified around USDA grades, temperature control, and traceability requirements. The issuing-body mix spans state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, school districts, county school systems, city senior services divisions, and regional treatment centers; Texas agencies and Georgia school systems appear most frequently in recent activity.

Texas leads current procurement volume under this code, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County) posting repeated solicitations for fresh produce, canteen and food service groceries, and prepared food items between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center with small-business set-aside (due September 3, 2026); the Dougherty County Board of Education sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites (due June 16, 2026); and the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program sourced within 400 miles of Madison, Wisconsin (due July 29, 2026). Contract terms typically run one fiscal or school year with optional renewal periods; pricing is firm or fixed with delivery F.O.B.
