UNSPSC 50416851: Organic radiance corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic radiance corn

UNSPSC 50416851 Organic radiance corn (Commodity) reflects state and local procurement of fresh produce and food products for park concessions, school nutrition programs, and healthcare operations. The code encompasses organic and conventional fresh vegetables sourced for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show broader fresh-produce procurement spanning fruits, vegetables, and related items rather than organic-radiance-corn procurement specifically. Issuing bodies include county park authorities, school districts, state agencies, and healthcare coalitions. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited food-service vendors for North Collier Regional Park concessions via Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) due March 6, 2025; Early County Board of Education in Georgia requested line-by-line food and non-food bids for school lunch and breakfast programs due June 8, 2026; and the State of Georgia issued a general food, supplies, and kitchen-products bid due June 22, 2026. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance with USDA 2024 Final Rule specifications, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with firm pricing for 15 days post-award and escalation or de-escalation adjustments permitted on a six-month basis supported by USDA or Consumer Price Index data.

Activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Florida, with recent solicitations from Early County Schools, the State of Georgia, Marion Health Care Coalition, and Collier County. The school-district segment shows the most active procurement, with compliance requirements including Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, general liability insurance ($500,000 minimum in the Early County example), E-Verify enrollment, food-recall procedures, and debarment verification. School districts allow piggybacking by other districts on identical bid terms, expanding reach beyond the primary buyer. Contract terms typically run 12 months with renewal options; the Collier County park concession contract is three years with two one-year renewal options. Vendors must manage delivery schedules (Early County requires Monday–Friday delivery 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. with temperature-control requirements for milk), maintain product freshness guarantees, and in the case of park concessions, bear all operational costs while the jurisdiction provides facilities at a minimum rate of $15.00 per square foot annually.
