UNSPSC 50423202: Dried alpine corn

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

UNSPSC 50423202 Dried alpine corn, a Commodity code, sees recent state and local procurement activity centered on institutional dried beans and bulk food supplies for correctional, educational, and child nutrition programs rather than alpine corn specifically. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the City of Edinburg Texas, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all posted solicitations under this code in the past six months for dried kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and mixed cafeteria food products. The work involves bulk procurement of USDA-graded dried legumes and institutional food supplies, typically triple-cleaned and meeting food-safety and shelf-life standards, with delivery to state distribution centers or program sites and pricing structured on an all-inclusive, freight-inclusive basis. Issuing bodies include state correctional and purchasing departments, state departments of education and social services, municipal procurement offices administering child nutrition programs, and regional institutional buyers. The code shows activity across multiple issuing-body types but does not identify repeat-buyer concentrations beyond scattered individual state agencies.

Geographic activity centers on Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois based on recent solicitations. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, under solicitation S2910000017705 (IFB equivalent) with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon fabrication and headquarters and a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags due October 9, 2026; the State of Oregon posted bids for triple-cleaned dried black beans (S2910000017705) due August 21, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items with response extended to May 4, 2026; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, requested proposals under RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 applying a 5% price band for City of Edinburg–based bidders.
