UNSPSC 50416869: Organic tuxedo corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic tuxedo corn

UNSPSC 50416869 Organic tuxedo corn is a Commodity code that in current state and local procurement practice spans fresh produce supply to food-service operations at parks, schools, and healthcare facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring fresh fruits, vegetables, and produce items as standalone categories or as part of broader food-service and kitchen-supply awards. The issuing bodies include county parks and recreation departments, school districts supporting National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. Scope varies from dedicated produce-only contracts with seasonal pricing adjustments and freshness guarantees to line-item food bids where vegetables and fruits are specified alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance where applicable to produce-adjacent items, low-sodium options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing bodies. In Florida, Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate in October 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park (response due March 6, 2025), which includes concession facilities serving produce-based food options; Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals with a due date of August 21, 2026. In Georgia, the State of Georgia issued an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026, and Early County Board of Education posted a line-item food bid due June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items including fresh vegetables and fruits, meats, poultry, dairy, and grains for school lunch and breakfast programs. Early County emphasizes domestic sourcing and allows piggybacking by other school districts on identical terms. Local-vendor preferences appear in competitive solicitations; Collier County weighted local-vendor preference at 10 evaluation points for vendors meeting permanent business address and employee residency criteria in Collier or Lee County.
