UNSPSC 50423202: Dried alpine corn

The variety of corn known as alpine corn that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423202 Dried alpine corn is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification do not reflect purchases of dried alpine corn. Instead, the opportunities span broad food procurement for institutional meal programs—school nutrition, corrections facilities, and child care—including fresh produce, dried beans, grocery staples, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees. The mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied in source systems or that dried alpine corn represents a negligible share of purchases across these jurisdictions. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts and school systems (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state procurement offices (Illinois, Georgia), and municipal/local agencies (City of Edinburg, Texas). School districts emerge as the most active buyers, with multiple recent RFPs and IFBs for annual grocery and produce contracts. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois, with no single state dominating the code's recent activity.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016233 for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 with bids due April 27, 2026, requiring a minimum 76-item commitment and delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens; the Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for child nutrition services grocery items (over 900 line items) with electronic bid submission by April 29, 2026; the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services ($9 million estimated annual expenditure) due February 18, 2026; and the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor preference under Texas law. Pricing in recent school nutrition contracts remains firm and fixed for the contract term, with evaluation typically weighting cost at 25–50 percent and emphasizing compliance with USDA standards, CACFP regulations, nutritional requirements, and delivery capability. No incumbent vendors or set-aside restrictions are consistently named across these solicitations.
