UNSPSC 50423209: Dried butter and sugar corn

The variety of corn known as butter & sugar corn that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423209 Dried butter and sugar corn, a Commodity code, describes institutional procurement of dried legumes and grains for bulk food service — though recent state and local solicitations under this code show purchasing focused on dried beans rather than corn. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia are sourcing dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans in volumes ranging from hundreds of bags to tens of thousands of pounds, all specified to USDA or higher grade standards with triple-cleaning and strict foreign-material thresholds. Issuing bodies are primarily state correctional systems and state food-purchasing aggregation bodies, supplemented by local school districts and child nutrition programs. The scope encompasses FOB destination delivery to institutional distribution points, palletization where specified, compliance with FDA and HACCP standards, and competitive pricing that bundles all transportation and fuel surcharges into line-item bids with no separate freight reimbursement.

Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited bids on approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, via the OregonBuys system with a combined 10% evaluation preference (5% for Oregon fabrication, 5% for Oregon headquarters) and a historical reference price of $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, in increments of 880 bags with all-inclusive delivery pricing and electronic PDF submission required. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas, with pre-bid held March 26, 2026, and response extended to May 4, 2026; that broader IFB encompasses dried legumes alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments. Oregon also posted a June 5, 2026 solicitation (S2910000017140) for dried pinto and red beans and a separate June 2026 solicitation (S2910000017705) for dried black beans, both for state institutional use. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois each sourced food and nonfood items supporting child nutrition and correctional meal programs, though with broader commodity scope than dried beans alone.
