UNSPSC 50423218: Dried divinity corn

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

UNSPSC 50423218 Dried divinity corn is a Commodity code that in practice spans a broader range of dried bean and legume procurement for institutional food service—including kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans—rather than divinity corn specifically. State and local governments buy these products primarily for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, school districts, and other institutional meal services. Recent solicitations show purchasing departments and correctional agencies issuing RFQs and IFBs for dried legumes in bulk quantities (880-bag increments, 42,500-pound lots) delivered on FOB destination terms with all-inclusive pricing that incorporates freight and handling. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices coordinating multi-agency or institutional buys, cities managing federally funded child nutrition programs, and county or municipal food service operations.

Activity appears concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026; the State of Oregon Department of Corrections requested bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders) and a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound; the City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children under a local-vendor preference; and the State of Illinois posted a quarterly food order solicitation due June 26, 2026. Responses must typically meet USDA grading standards (U.S. No. 2 or better, triple-cleaned), include product certifications and nutritional documentation, and comply with FDA, HACCP, and current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements. Delivery windows are tight—daily before noon in some cases, within 45 days in others—and palletization and shelf-life thresholds are common specifications. Minimum one-year shelf life remaining before best use by date is standard.
