UNSPSC 50416809: Organic butter and sugar corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic butter and sugar corn

UNSPSC 50416809 Organic butter and sugar corn, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. State and local governments rarely solicit this specific commodity in isolation; instead, they embed organic corn and other produce items within broad fresh produce or grocery contracts serving child nutrition programs across multiple school sites. The actual buying is line-item produce supply to school districts, county food services, and special-purpose nutrition cooperatives, typically bundled with fruits, vegetables, eggs, and dairy in annual or multi-year agreements. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with smaller institutional buyers such as regional school cooperatives and county food service offices participating. Georgia school districts appear frequently in recent solicitations, alongside systems in Texas, Florida, and Missouri, driven by state procurement aggregation and cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education (IFB, June 8, 2026 response deadline) soliciting line-by-line produce bids for National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs across three schools with emphasis on whole-grain products, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; Bulloch County School District (IFP, May 4, 2026) procuring 24 produce items including whole grain flour and butter beans within 200 miles for its Farm to School program; and the Douglas County School System (RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative, March 4, 2026) aggregating fresh produce and eggs procurement across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Multiple Georgia counties and Texas independent school districts are issuing parallel fresh produce contracts (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, McAllen ISD, Northside ISD, Austin ISD) with response deadlines clustering in April through June 2026. Buyers emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, domestic or locally sourced products, and firm pricing with limited escalation clauses. No organic-specific volume data is available; the code's activity reflects institutional demand for commodity produce lines rather than a distinct organic segment.
