UNSPSC 50423205: Dried aspen corn

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

UNSPSC 50423205 Dried aspen corn (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The three recent opportunities in the dataset cite dried black beans, dried pinto and red beans, and kidney beans—legume proteins used in bulk institutional food service, not corn products. The code's nominal scope (dried aspen corn) and the work actually being solicited diverge substantially. State and local purchasing offices have issued bids for dried beans across institutional and correctional food services, but no recent solicitations for dried corn appear in the sample.

The issuing bodies pursuing dried-bean procurement span state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Correctional Industries), state agencies (State of Oregon), and municipal school meal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP). Oregon and Georgia show the strongest recent activity, with Oregon's ODOC posting two bean solicitations (pinto and red beans, black beans, both due mid-June 2026) and Georgia Correctional Industries requesting kidney beans with an October 9, 2026 deadline. Texas procurement activity includes the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program RFP with an August 2026 response window and the State of Illinois IVHQ quarterly food order. Evaluation criteria across these solicitations emphasize price, compliance with USDA or FDA standards, on-time delivery, and product quality; Oregon applies a 10% evaluation preference for in-state fabrication and headquarters location on bean purchases. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its stated commodity name.
