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, sees limited recent activity in state and local procurement, with the available opportunities showing significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurements being tagged under it. The source records one solicitation explicitly matching dried commodity staples — the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 bid for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB S-29100-00016233, due March 20, 2026) — but the remaining eight opportunities tagged under this code cover broad food service procurement spanning fresh produce, cafeteria entrees, school nutrition supplies, and general grocery items with no specific emphasis on dried corn or corn-based products. The mismatch suggests either indexing inconsistency in the source database or that state and local procurement offices are applying this code to multi-category food acquisitions without granular commodity differentiation. Issuing bodies across the recent records span large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System and Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), a state department of corrections (Oregon), state procurement divisions (Texas Comptroller on behalf of Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and a city food program (Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal service).

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with Georgia school districts appearing most frequently (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), followed by Texas (Edinburg, TDCJ via Statewide Procurement), and single appearances from Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. The only clearly commodity-specific opportunity — dried pinto beans sourced by Oregon Department of Corrections — represents institutional food service for approximately 127,500 pounds at a previous award price of $0.43 per pound, with triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards and 45-day delivery windows to Salem; a subsequent ODOC bid in June 2026 (S-29100-00017140) for 42,500 pounds of combined dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) reinforces Oregon's repeat procurement of dried legumes. All other opportunities — school nutrition grocery items, fresh produce, cafeteria food products, and meal program supplies — involve broader food categories with no specific dried corn content. The code shows material procurement activity in institutional food service contracting, but the dried-commodity-specific work appears concentrated in Oregon Department of Corrections' legume procurement; vendors pursuing this code should verify commodity match before investment.
