UNSPSC 50403263: Sugar buns corn

The variety of corn known as sugar buns corn

UNSPSC 50403263 Sugar buns corn, a Commodity code, covers fresh and prepared produce items that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — including cafeteria operations at correctional facilities, state supported living centers, mental health facilities, school districts, and senior services programs. The code's nominal scope and recent solicitation activity show material divergence: while the code name references a specific prepared product, the state and local opportunities tagged under it span fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, bulk commodity produce (potatoes, carrots, onions), processed and frozen prepared foods, and food service supplies. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Mental Health, Illinois Department of Corrections), county school boards (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County in Georgia; Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin), county and municipal agencies (Collier County Parks and Recreation, City of San Antonio Senior Services), and nonprofit food service operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). Texas agencies—particularly HHSC and TDCJ—dominate the recent opportunity stream, soliciting repeatedly for produce, prepared foods, and consumables to supply state institutions on fiscal-year contracts.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumables and food service supplies for Lufkin State Supported Living Center; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple fresh-fruit-and-vegetable solicitations for food warehouses in Palestine, Snyder, and Huntsville (solicitations IW267376, IW267420, IW267411, posted September 30 to October 12, 2026, due October 14 to October 19, 2026); Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid fresh produce procurement for 24 school nutrition sites (PE64710NONST2027000000078, posted May 19, 2026, due June 16, 2026); and Bartow County School System's fresh fruits and vegetables RFP for the 2026-2027 school year (PE55391NONST2026000000027, posted May 21, 2026, due June 22, 2026). Illinois Department of Corrections sought fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a small-business set-aside (posted August 27, 2026, due September 3, 2026). Many contracts emphasize local sourcing (within 400 miles), prevailing-wage compliance in some jurisdictions, USDA compliance, F.O.B. Destination pricing, insurance requirements, and e-verify verification. Payment terms typically run 30 days net from invoice, with contract periods spanning fiscal year or school year cycles (July–June or September–August) and renewal options of one to four additional years at agency discretion.
