UNSPSC 50423200: Dried corn

The type of vegetable known as corn that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423200 Dried corn, a Class code, encompasses state and local procurement of dried legumes and grains for institutional food service, including dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties), whole grains, and related bulk staple food items used in correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agency kitchens. Recent solicitations show states and local jurisdictions sourcing dried legumes by the thousand-pound or hundred-bag quantities, with specifications emphasizing USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning requirements to remove foreign material and debris, moisture-content limits, and compliance with FDA, HACCP, and current Good Manufacturing Practice protocols. The issuing bodies span state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices on behalf of institutional users, and city or county food-service programs serving child and adult nutrition initiatives. Procurement vehicles include competitive sealed bids (IFB and RFQ) with delivery-inclusive pricing structures and FOB destination terms to central distribution centers or direct institutional sites.

Recent activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest and South. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bids due June 19, 2026) with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors and incumbent pricing at $0.493 per pound; the same issuing body requested dried black beans, triple-cleaned, with proposals due August 21, 2026. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags (due October 9, 2026) with delivery included in all-inclusive bid pricing and strict compliance specifications prohibiting use of shorthand terms such as "comply" or checkmarks. The Texas Comptroller, procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items with response extended to May 4, 2026 and contract terms through August 31, 2027 with optional renewal periods. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving approximately 400 children daily (RFP 2026-017, proposals due August 4, 2026) with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and evaluation weighted toward cost (30%), qualifications (25%), technical approach (25%), and menu quality (20%). The State of Illinois issued solicitation FY-27 IVHQ for quarterly weekly food orders (bids due June 26, 2026) with brand-specific items or approved equivalents. Geographic concentration appears in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois, with institutional food-service procurement driven by calendar quarters and academic-year cycles.
