UNSPSC 50416810: Organic calico belle corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic calico belle corn

UNSPSC 50416810 Organic calico belle corn, a Commodity code, nominally refers to a specific agricultural product, but recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show little actual procurement of that item. Instead, the opportunities reveal that state and local governments use this code broadly to solicit food service and produce supply contracts spanning fresh fruits and vegetables, prepared foods across multiple venues, and comprehensive food-service packages for schools and healthcare facilities. The issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County), school districts (Early County Board of Education), state agencies (State of Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). The scope of work ranges from concession-stand food operations at regional parks to produce delivery for healthcare systems and line-item food bids for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, reflecting a misalignment between the code's nominal commodity name and how jurisdictions actually tag their food procurement.

Recent activity appears in Florida, Georgia, and surrounding states. Representative opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners soliciting food-service vendors via Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park and its concession facilities (proposals due March 6, 2025), Early County Board of Education requesting line-by-line food bids for three schools supporting federal meal programs (bids due June 8, 2026), Marion Health Care Coalition seeking produce vendors with proposals due August 21, 2026, and the State of Georgia issuing a request for bids on food supplies and kitchen products (bids due June 22, 2026). The code shows limited genuine procurement specifically for organic calico belle corn; the recent activity suggests this Commodity code may be incorrectly applied to broader food-procurement categories, and firms should verify actual commodity alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
