UNSPSC 50423217: Dried diamonds and gold corn

The variety of corn known as diamonds & gold corn that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423217 Dried diamonds and gold corn (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — specialty maize products — bears no relationship to the solicitations posted under this code over the past six months, which consistently seek dried beans (pinto and red), fresh produce (fruits, vegetables, eggs), grocery staples, and food service supplies for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations. The Oregon Department of Corrections has twice solicited dried pinto and red beans (March and June 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice sought cafeteria food products across 382 line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments; and multiple school districts and one municipal child care program have posted RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, grocery items, and meal-service supplies. No solicitations in the recent-opportunities block reference dried corn or maize of any kind, suggesting either a systemic code-classification error within state and local procurement systems or that this commodity code is not actively used for its intended purpose.

Activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon, with Texas and Georgia showing the highest posting frequency. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County Schools), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), and municipal entities (City of Edinburg, Texas). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF (response due May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouses; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017140 for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual value approximately $5.5 million across both geographic areas). The code shows no alignment with its stated name and should not be relied upon for business development targeting dried corn or maize products.
