UNSPSC 50423221: Dried earlivee corn

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

UNSPSC 50423221 Dried early-maize corn (Commodity) does not see active state and local procurement activity matching its nominal scope. The recent opportunities in the block are tagged to this code but solicit kidney beans, pinto and red beans, black beans, and mixed cafeteria food products—none of which align with the code's stated commodity name. State and local buyers are acquiring dried legumes and institutional food supplies, but the mismatch between the code label and the actual solicitations suggests either miscategorization in the source data or that the code is not the appropriate taxonomy match for these procurements. The issuing bodies include state correctional agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), a city child-care food program (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state purchasing offices (State of Oregon, State of Illinois, State of Georgia). These buyers consistently purchase dried beans in bulk—increments of 880 bags, 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned black beans—for institutional meal preparation serving inmates, children in care programs, and state agency employees.

Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) on October 2, 2026, for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, with delivery included in all-inclusive pricing in 880-bag increments. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) issued bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) with triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade requirements, FOB destination to Salem, palletized on standard wooden pallets, and a historical price of $0.493 per pound. Procurement is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and South (Georgia, Texas), with Oregon and Georgia appearing as repeat buyers. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) serving 400 children daily (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026), with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and Texas Department of Agriculture compliance required. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued a large IFB (304T26300CF) in May 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products spanning proteins, frozen items, dairy, grains, and staples with USDA grade certificates required and delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas. Recent activity shows state and local governments regularly acquire dried beans and institutional food supplies through competitive sealed bids and RFPs with firm fixed pricing including all transportation and delivery costs.
