UNSPSC 50416830: Organic illini xtra sweet corn

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

UNSPSC 50416830 Organic illini xtra sweet corn (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of produce procurement that state and local governments are actually buying. Recent solicitations posted under this code encompass broad fresh produce categories—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, potatoes, eggs, and specialty items—rather than a single organic sweet corn variety. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from state departments and county boards of education. Solicitations are structured as multi-line-item contracts for annual food service supply, typically with unit pricing on a per-case or per-pound basis, delivery requirements to multiple sites, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, and renewal options spanning one to four years. The code appears misaligned with its nominal scope; recent opportunities are tagged generically for "fresh produce" or "food products" across institutional nutrition programs rather than a specific commodity line.

Georgia school districts and state purchasing offices drive the visible activity, with secondary solicitation volume in Texas, Florida, and Missouri. Representative procurements include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid (due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items across meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and paper supplies under an RFQ structure; Northside Independent School District's fresh-produce RFP for child nutrition (San Antonio, due May 7, 2026) evaluated on price, extent of goods meeting needs, quality, long-term cost, reputation, and prior relationship; Hillsborough County Public Schools' Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program solicitation (Tampa, due March 11, 2026) for specialty produce to 18 elementary schools under a federally funded USDA grant, structured as cost-plus fixed-fee-per-case with September 2026 through May 2027 initial term; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. None of these opportunities specifically target organic sweet corn as a line item. The code's actual utility appears limited; vendors in fresh-produce distribution should track broader Commodity codes for institutional produce supply or segment-level food-service procurement notices rather than relying on this nominal code match.
