UNSPSC 50416838: Organic maple sweet corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic maple sweet corn

UNSPSC 50416838 Organic maple sweet corn (Commodity) reflects the fragmented, venue-specific procurement of fresh produce across state and local food service operations. State and local governments buy fresh fruits and vegetables—including organic varieties—through school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices to support cafeterias, concession stands, institutional food services, and meal programs. The issuing bodies span school districts (which dominate food procurement under federal National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program funding), county recreation and parks divisions, state procurement offices, and healthcare provider networks. Recent opportunities show food vendors bidding line items across 300+ produce SKUs alongside proteins, dairy, and supplies in consolidated food-service RFQs and ITNs, with seasonal variation in sourcing and commodity pricing adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service data.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast, with recent solicitations from Marion Health Care Coalition (state unspecified, August 2026), the State of Georgia (May 2026), Collier County (Florida, October 2026), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia, May 2026). Early County Schools' FY27 Food Bid (due June 8, 2026, ITB) is representative: the district sought line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits, requiring domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and extension options. Collier County's North Collier Regional Park Food Services ITN (due March 6, 2025) sought a concessionaire to provide diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues with a 10-point local-vendor preference for Collier or Lee County business residency. School districts and parks departments typically require compliance with HACCP plans, food safety certifications, E-Verify enrollment, general liability insurance, and adherence to Buy American provisions where applicable.
