UNSPSC 50403265: Sundance corn

The variety of corn known as sundance corn

UNSPSC 50403265 Sundance corn (Commodity) identifies a single produce line item that state and local governments buy for institutional food service operations, particularly corrections, health and human services, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring sundance corn as part of bulk fresh vegetable, canned produce, and prepared-food contracts for inmate populations, patients in state-supported living centers, and school meal programs. The code sits within institutional and facility food procurement where produce vendors supply multiple line items and commodity codes simultaneously—sundance corn appears alongside carrots, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, and other vegetables in multi-item RFPs and IFBs rather than as a standalone category. State and local agencies procuring under this code emphasize USDA grade compliance, firm fixed pricing inclusive of delivery, traceability documentation where required, and compliance with food safety regulations and prevailing wage requirements in certain jurisdictions.

Buying activity concentrates in Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), Georgia (school nutrition programs and state procurement), and Illinois (Department of Corrections, Department of Mental Health), with scattered activity in other states. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple recent fresh vegetable solicitations (IFB IW267411, IW267420, IW267376) for food warehouse supply, while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued several IFBs for state-supported living center consumables (HHS0018082, HHS0017872, HHS0017798, HHS0017799) in August and October 2026. Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Bryan County, Dougherty County) and the Illinois Department of Corrections (Joliet Treatment Center) have posted produce bids with seasonal or annual terms. Response dates range from mid-May through late October 2026, with most opportunities requiring sealed bids or electronic proposals via state portals. No recent solicitation specifically names sundance corn as a sole line item; the commodity appears as one produce option within broader food service contracts, signaling that pursuit viability depends on vendor ability to compete across multiple vegetable commodities and meet institutional delivery, documentation, and compliance requirements simultaneously.
