UNSPSC 50416822: Organic early xtra sweet corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic early xtra sweet corn

UNSPSC 50416822 Organic early xtra sweet corn is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh produce items for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and specialized federal grant-funded distribution initiatives such as the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The code does not appear frequently in state and local solicitations under its precise organic early sweet corn designation; instead, recent opportunities broadly solicit fresh produce including corn varieties alongside comprehensive fruit, vegetable, and egg line items for school meal programs. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county school systems serving child nutrition programs through the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with Georgia representing the heaviest concentration of recent activity. A smaller subset of solicitations target specialized federal grant programs such as the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (Hillsborough County Public Schools) and Farm to School initiatives (Bulloch County School District). School districts across Texas, Missouri, and Georgia issue RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs requiring weekly or scheduled produce delivery to multiple school sites, with vendors expected to maintain HACCP certifications, food safety documentation, Buy American compliance, liability insurance, and detailed traceability and recall protocols.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Bulloch County School District, and multiple State of Georgia procurements), Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education FY27 Food Bid (ITB PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) soliciting line-by-line bids for 300+ food items including vegetables and whole-grain bread for school meal programs; Northside Independent School District fresh produce RFP (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant produce delivery to 127 campuses five days weekly; and the Douglas County School System RFP (SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026) aggregating procurement for 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million and $1.1 million across two geographic areas. Vendors typically must commit to firm fixed pricing for 12 months, maintain delivery within 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. windows on weekdays, and accept price adjustments only after specified periods (e.g., January redetermination dates) based on USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index documentation. No incumbent vendors or set-aside designations appear consistently across recent opportunities.
