UNSPSC 50416800: Organic corn

The type of organic vegetable known as organic corn

UNSPSC 50416800 Organic corn is a Class code that in practice spans a much broader range of fresh produce and food-service supplies than its nominal scope suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually procuring complete food-service solutions — fresh produce, meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, grains, condiments, bread, and fluid milk — for parks departments, school districts, health-care consortia, and state purchasing offices. The recent activity shows issuing bodies prioritizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with strict compliance requirements around food safety, HACCP plans, and USDA nutrition standards. Vendors must typically carry general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 depending on scope), maintain E-Verify enrollment, comply with debarment verification for awards exceeding $25,000, and in school-district contexts allow piggybacking by other districts on identical pricing and terms.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Florida, and at least one multi-state health-care coalition. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line IFB on May 11, 2026 for approximately 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026 and firm pricing for 15 days from award, escalation or de-escalation considered on a six-month basis with a 3% threshold for provisional sourcing elsewhere. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with responses due June 22, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park, with responses due March 6, 2025, a 10-point local-vendor preference, and a three-year term with two one-year renewal options; the county provides the concession space at a minimum $15.00 per square foot per year and the vendor bears all operational costs. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-focused RFQ on August 7, 2026 with responses due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period.
