UNSPSC 50403269: Tuxedo corn

The variety of corn known as tuxedo corn

UNSPSC 50403269 Tuxedo corn is a Commodity code encompassing fresh and processed corn products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring tuxedo corn primarily as one item within broader fresh produce, fresh vegetable, or prepared-food contracts serving correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and mental health centers. The issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bartow County School System, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Early County Board of Education), counties (Collier County), and regional health coalitions. State-supported living centers and correctional facilities dominate current solicitation activity, with Texas HHS and TDCJ posting multiple food service contracts that reference corn and related produce items. The code shows no activity specific to tuxedo corn as a standalone line item; tuxedo corn appears embedded in broader vegetable, produce, or consumable-food solicitations where vendors bid on multiple commodity lines simultaneously.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois, Florida, and Wisconsin. Texas leads with multiple institutional food-service solicitations from HHS, TDCJ, and school districts; Georgia shows repeated fresh-produce solicitations from school nutrition programs and county boards of education. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (October 2026) for consumables foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, which encompasses prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery required within seven days; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's solicitation for fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine (IW267376, October 2026) and to Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (IW267420 and IW267411, September 2026); and the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites (June 2026), covering 40 produce line items with firm pricing and F.O.B. Destination delivery. No recent solicitations name tuxedo corn explicitly as a specification or line item; pursuit viability depends on whether tuxedo corn meets the fresh-corn or prepared-vegetable requirements in these broader produce and food-service contracts.
