UNSPSC 50423200: Dried corn

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

UNSPSC 50423200 Dried corn, a Class code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—dried corn products—appears in the source materials only incidentally, if at all; instead, the opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit fresh produce, grocery staples across broad food categories, complete food service distribution, and fresh pinto or red beans for institutional meal programs. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement scope signals either a tagging error in the underlying source data or a use of the code as a catch-all for broader food procurement that does not center on dried corn as a commodity.

The recent opportunities reveal a strong and consistent demand for institutional food supply across state departments, county and city school districts, and state correctional facilities. School nutrition programs dominate the activity: Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited over 900 grocery line items; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) requested a Master Grocery K-12 contract; Muscogee County School District (Georgia) bid fresh produce; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) procured fresh produce on an annual basis; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued dual RFPs for fresh produce and eggs and for main-line food service distribution serving 25,500 students. State-level buyers include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division) for 382-line-item cafeteria food products across five geographic areas; the State of Illinois for quarterly weekly food orders; the State of Georgia for food, supplies, and kitchen products; and the Oregon Department of Corrections for dried pinto and red beans. Local government also participates: the City of Edinburg, Texas solicited CACFP meal program supplies. Geographic concentration is heavy in the Southeast—Georgia in particular appears in six recent opportunities—with strong secondary activity in Texas, Missouri, Virginia, Illinois, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (response due May 4, 2026) spanning approximately 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and staple items; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) with 10 percent Oregon-based evaluation preference; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and Rockwood R-VI School District's bid for over 900 grocery items (due April 29, 2026) supporting 6,900 daily lunch and 900 daily breakfast participants. Procurement is structured as both single-vendor and multi-vendor awards, with evaluation emphasizing price competitiveness, vendor experience, delivery capability, product quality and compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and food safety certifications. Contract terms typically run one year with optional renewals, and delivery frequencies range from daily (school nutrition programs) to quarterly and on-demand (state-agency procurement).
