UNSPSC 50423213: Dried champ corn

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

UNSPSC 50423213 Dried champ corn, a Commodity code, encompasses dried legumes and pulses procured by state correctional systems, school districts, and other institutional food-service operations for bulk kitchen use. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers requesting dried beans — pinto, red, kidney, and black varieties — in quantities ranging from thousands of pounds to tens of thousands of pounds, all specified to meet USDA grading standards (typically U.S. No. 2 or better), triple-cleaned to remove foreign material and debris, and delivered on a palletized, FOB-destination basis to centralized distribution centers or institutional kitchens. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Georgia), state purchasing offices on behalf of criminal-justice agencies (Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), and city or district food-service programs serving children in care facilities. The scope extends beyond a single commodity — buyers are simultaneously procuring multiple dried-bean varieties, proteins, grains, and fresh produce under single solicitations, meaning this code often appears as part of larger institutional food-supply contracts rather than standalone commodity buys.

Procurement activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. Oregon's Department of Corrections issued bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon preference (5% for goods fabricated or processed in-state, 5% additional for in-state headquarters) and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound from incumbent contractor Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments with delivery due October 9, 2026, under RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products including diverse proteins and staples across five Texas geographic areas with an extended response date of May 4, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program under RFP 2026-017 (proposals due August 4, 2026) requiring daily Monday-through-Friday deliveries before noon to serve approximately 400 children, with a 5% local-vendor price preference under Texas law. The Illinois and City of Edinburg procurements reference compliance with state department-of-agriculture standards and CACFP meal regulations. Delivery requirements are stringent across all opportunities — FOB destination, palletization, and daily or weekly service cycles are standard.
