UNSPSC 50423212: Dried challenger crisp ‘n sweet corn

The variety of corn known as challengercrisp 'n sweet corn that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423212 Dried challenger crisp 'n sweet corn, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no solicitations specifically requesting this product; instead, recent opportunities reference broader food procurement categories such as cafeteria food products, master grocery contracts, school nutrition grocery items, and fresh produce that may encompass dried corn as one line item among hundreds. The code's narrow specificity—dried corn of a particular varietal and preparation—does not align with how state and local buyers actually solicit these products, which typically occurs as part of consolidated food service RFPs or IFBs spanning multiple commodity lines rather than individual product requisitions.

State and local activity in dried vegetable and grain commodities concentrates in school nutrition programs and institutional food service across the Southeast and Texas. Solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division), and Oregon Department of Corrections demonstrate that dried legumes and grains are procured as line items within master grocery contracts, school nutrition grocery ITBs, and cafeteria food product IFBs rather than as standalone commodity purchases. Typical notice types are IFB and RFP with response windows of 30 to 60 days. The sole direct match in the source—Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB for dried pinto beans (42,500 pounds at a previous award rate of $0.43 per pound)—illustrates the scale and structure of actual procurement: large-volume, quality-graded (U.S. No. 2 or better), triple-cleaned product with firm fixed pricing on an FOB Destination basis. Dried corn at this code level rarely appears as a named line item in published notices; pursuit would require monitoring consolidated grocery, staple, and institutional food service RFPs and IFBs where dried vegetable components are embedded as optional or secondary product lines.
