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 is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure bulk dried legumes and grains for institutional food service — specifically kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and related staples for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agency meal operations. The recent opportunities show a narrow but consistent scope: dried beans triple-cleaned to USDA standards, palletized for bulk institutional cooking, delivered FOB destination to central distribution points or individual facilities. Issuing bodies are predominantly state corrections departments, state purchasing offices handling multi-agency food procurement, and city governments administering child and adult care food programs. Correctional facilities account for the highest share of recent solicitation volume, with Oregon's Department of Corrections and Georgia's Correctional Industries posting separate bids for pinto, red, and kidney beans in the past four months.

Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (Solicitation S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors; the historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive pricing and electronic PDF submission required. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies including dried beans and other staples serving 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Delivery requirements are consistent across solicitations: palletized loads, FOB destination, compliance with FDA and USDA standards, and lead times of 30 to 45 days.
