UNSPSC 50403268: Treasure corn

The variety of corn known as treasure corn

UNSPSC 50403268 Treasure corn (Commodity) covers fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, though the source shows this code applied to a broader fresh-fruit-and-vegetable activity than the singular "treasure corn" nomenclature suggests. Recent solicitations under this code span institutional food service — state health and human services agencies, departments of criminal justice, school nutrition programs, county parks departments, and municipal senior services — procuring fresh produce for inmate meals, patient nutrition, student breakfast and lunch programs, and community food distribution. The work being solicited includes weekly to bi-weekly deliveries of fresh fruits, vegetables, and related produce items to institutional and program sites, with specifications addressing product quality, freshness guarantees, temperature control, traceability, and compliance with USDA or child nutrition standards.

The issuing-body mix is dominated by Texas agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice) and Georgia school districts and county education systems, with secondary activity from Illinois correctional and mental health facilities, Wisconsin school districts, and municipal jurisdictions in Texas and Florida. Texas Health and Human Services has posted multiple recent solicitations for consumable foods and fresh produce to state supported living centers; TDCJ has issued repeated fresh-fruit-and-vegetable RFPs for warehouse and facility delivery across multiple food service locations. Georgia school nutrition programs (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bryan County) have posted fresh-produce bids emphasizing local sourcing within 400 miles. Recent opportunities include Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 (consumables and prepared foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due 23 October 2026), TDCJ IW267376 (fresh fruit and vegetable supply to Palestine, due 19 October 2026), Collier County ITN 258360 (food services at North Collier Regional Park, due 6 March 2025), Illinois Department of Corrections RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 (fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center, due 3 September 2026, small business set-aside), and Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 (fresh fruit and vegetable snacks from Wisconsin sources, due 29 July 2026). Geographic concentration centers on Texas and Georgia with meaningful activity in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Florida; the code shows no recent activity outside the South and Midwest.
