UNSPSC 50423206: Dried avalanche corn

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

UNSPSC 50423206 Dried avalanche corn (Commodity) covers dried bean and legume products procured for institutional food service, including dried pinto beans, kidney beans, black beans, and related staples for correctional facilities, child-care programs, and state agency meal operations. The solicitations under this code show state and local governments buying bulk quantities of triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried beans specified for large-scale institutional cooking and meal preparation, with strict packaging, contamination, shelf-life, and delivery requirements. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, city child-care programs, and county procurement divisions — primarily institutional buyers with recurring quarterly or annual food-service needs.

Activity is concentrated in the West and Southeast, with recent solicitations from Oregon (State of Oregon Department of Corrections seeking 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, IFB due June 19, 2026; State of Oregon seeking dried black beans triple-cleaned, IFB due August 21, 2026) and Georgia (Georgia Correctional Industries seeking kidney beans in 880-bag increments, RFQ due October 9, 2026). Illinois and Texas also show institutional food procurement under related codes. The Oregon Department of Corrections procurement offers a 10 percent evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed entirely in Oregon and for Oregon-headquartered bidders; historical pricing ran $0.493 per pound as of August 2025. Delivery requirements are typically FOB destination, palletized on four-way wooden pallets, within 45 days of purchase order, with all-inclusive pricing covering freight and fuel surcharges. These are recurring procurements tied to institutional meal cycles, with contract terms extending 12 to 36 months and optional renewal periods.
