UNSPSC 50416862: Organic sugar and gold corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic sugar and gold corn

UNSPSC 50416862 Organic sugar and gold corn, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual goods state and local governments are procuring under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit fresh produce, eggs, and food service items for school nutrition programs, not organic corn or specialty corn products. The issuing bodies are school districts (independent, county, and regional boards of education) and a state department, reflecting the institutional food-service market. School districts dominate the activity, with solicitations from Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Early County Schools (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), along with state procurement from Georgia's department operations. The scope of work encompasses fresh produce procurement (apples, bananas, peppers, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, citrus, berries, eggs) and comprehensive grocery line items (snacks, dairy, beverages, condiments, prepared entrees, grains, breads) for school nutrition programs serving the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. Recent representative solicitations include the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for line-by-line food bids with a June 8, 2026 deadline covering 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce with a May 7, 2026 deadline and emphasis on USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown sourcing through the "Harvest of the Month" program, Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) RFP for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program serving 18 elementary schools with a March 11, 2026 deadline, the Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two and a March 4, 2026 deadline, Austin Independent School District (Texas) RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages with a March 11, 2026 deadline emphasizing Good Food Purchasing Program participation, and Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB 27-02 for fresh produce serving 16 school locations with a April 14, 2026 deadline. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30, include firm pricing with price redetermination provisions tied to USDA market reports, require HACCP certification and Buy American compliance, and feature multi-year renewal options. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity (organic sugar and gold corn) and the actual procurement activity (broad fresh produce and grocery staples) suggests the code is either misapplied to these opportunities or has fallen out of use in the state and local taxonomy.
