UNSPSC 50423207: Dried biqueen corn

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

UNSPSC 50423207 Dried biqueen corn is a Commodity code representing specialty dried corn products sourced for institutional food service. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on bulk dried corn purchases for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child nutrition services, with buyers treating dried corn as one line item within broader grocery or food supply contracts rather than as a standalone commodity. The mix of issuing bodies includes school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state purchasing offices (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). School districts dominate recent activity, with repeat procurement cycles driven by annual nutrition service contracts that span July-June fiscal years and serve student populations ranging from under 20,000 to approximately 25,500 students.

Recent representative opportunities span multiple states and procurement structures. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas with a response deadline of May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2 from April 21), covering approximately 382 line items with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points under FOB Destination pricing with firm, all-inclusive fixed prices. The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited bids for grocery items supporting child nutrition services with over 900 line items for the 2026–2027 school year, with electronic submissions required by April 29, 2026, via NUTRIKIDS, and the Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia, with school districts in Georgia showing particularly high recent activity (six school district solicitations posted between February and May 2026). No set-asides or restrictions limiting competition to disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent solicitations; all qualified vendors meeting experience, insurance, and compliance requirements are eligible to respond.
