UNSPSC 50423216: Dried dazzle corn

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

UNSPSC 50423216 Dried dazzle corn is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with the code's nominal scope. Instead, the solicitations shown comprise dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans) and broader institutional food supplies for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agencies. State and local governments procure these items as bulk ingredients and meal components for institutional kitchens—correctional facilities, state warehouses, child care food programs, and cafeteria operations serving hundreds of daily meals. The issuing bodies span state departments (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), state correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division), state purchasing offices, and municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas). Purchasing is driven by volume demand and regulatory compliance: beans and food products must meet USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning specifications, FDA food-safety requirements, and in some cases state nutrition program mandates such as CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program) regulations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections bid approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods and 5% for Oregon-headquartered vendors), delivered palletized FOB destination to Salem within 45 days; the incumbent price was $0.493 per pound in August 2025 from Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026, under RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet compliance rules. The Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, acting on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, canned goods) across five geographic warehouse areas, extended to May 4, 2026; awards were made per line item based on best value. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies serving 400 children daily over nine months with local-vendor preference, and the State of Oregon issued a general dried black beans solicitation due August 21, 2026. The code shows sparse recent activity and a mismatch between the posted opportunities and the nominal commodity classification.
