UNSPSC 50416837: Organic lancelot corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic lancelot corn

UNSPSC 50416837 Organic lancelot corn (Commodity) does not map meaningfully to state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a specific produce variety; however, the recent solicitations tagging this code span a broad spectrum of fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, including apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, celery, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, onions, citrus fruits, potatoes, eggs, beverages, and miscellaneous grocery items. None of the fourteen recent opportunities identify organic lancelot corn as a line item, specification, or bid category. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the wide-ranging fresh produce procurements suggests either data-entry error in the tagging system or that the code is being used as a catch-all for produce and related food-service items outside its intended specificity.

Procurement under this code tag comes almost exclusively from school districts and county education systems across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, with the majority of activity in Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education requesting line-by-line bids for 300+ food items across meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and supplies (due June 8, 2026, RFP); Northside Independent School District in San Antonio seeking fresh produce for child nutrition (due May 7, 2026, RFP 2026-048); Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa soliciting specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (due March 11, 2026, RFP); Bulloch County School District requesting locally grown produce within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026, IFP); and the Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative seeking fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026, RFP). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 of the following fiscal year with renewal options, require HACCP certification and Buy American compliance, and award on a line-item basis to lowest responsive and responsible bidders. The code's currency as a procurement tag is questionable given the absence of specific organic lancelot corn demand in recent state and local activity.
