UNSPSC 50423211: Dried camelot corn

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

UNSPSC 50423211 Dried camelot corn is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity posted under it in recent state and local solicitations. The code appears misaligned with the opportunities it nominally covers—recent postings tagged with this code instead solicit fresh produce, dried beans, and comprehensive food-supply contracts for school nutrition programs, cafeteria operations, and institutional meal services. The actual buying encompasses beverages, dairy, proteins, grains, snacks, fresh vegetables and fruits, janitorial supplies, and food-service staples delivered to schools, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs rather than dried corn specifically. Issuing bodies are predominantly state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller, Georgia, Illinois, and Douglas County School System acting as a cooperative buyer on behalf of 30 Georgia school districts), county and municipal school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham in Georgia), and municipal entities (City of Edinburg, Texas). School nutrition programs and institutional food service represent the dominant buying pattern across all recent opportunities.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI)—with additional volume in Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP program under RFP2026017 due August 4, 2026; Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB 304T-26-300CF extended to May 4, 2026 covering 382 line items across five warehouse locations) and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections dried beans ITB S2910000016233 due March 20, 2026 for 127,500 pounds at $0.43 per pound historical pricing, and IFB S2910000017140 due June 19, 2026 for 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans). Illinois issued an FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food order (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) with minimal detail disclosed. School district RFPs and IFBs dominate the recent pipeline—Fairfax County IFB 2000004323 (Master Grocery K-12, due April 27, 2026) requires 76-item minimums and firm pricing for 365 days; Rockwood R-VI Child Nutrition Services issued an electronic-bid solicitation (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items for 2026-27; Muscogee County School District ITB 26-017 (due April 27, 2026) covers approximately 60 produce line items priced as markups above USDA indices; and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 (due April 23, 2026) encompasses 72 fresh produce items with 60 school delivery sites. The Douglas County School System cooperative RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) spans 30 districts with estimated annual expenditure of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; a parallel RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for comprehensive food supply and distribution estimated annual expenditure at approximately $9 million. Most school solicitations apply local vendor preferences or require Buy American compliance and mandate firm, fixed-price quotes for 365 days or the full contract term with no fuel surcharges permitted after initial award.
