UNSPSC 50423223: Dried excel corn

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

UNSPSC 50423223 Dried excel corn (Commodity) covers staple dried grain and legume products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. State purchasing is dominated by school districts, state correctional departments, and municipal child nutrition programs, which buy dried beans, corn, and related dry goods as base ingredients and prepared meal components for high-volume daily feeding operations.

School districts and state corrections departments drive the majority of recent activity across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two recent bids for dried pinto and red beans totaling roughly 170,000 pounds combined (March and June 2026 ITBs with response dates of March 20 and June 19, 2026), with historical pricing near $0.43–$0.49 per pound and a 10 percent Oregon preference applied to evaluation. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued an IFB on April 6, 2026 for a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (due April 27, 2026) covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, requiring a minimum of 76 line items and nine-month shelf life; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited grocery items on March 31, 2026 (due April 29) encompassing over 900 line items for approximately 6,900 daily lunch participants; and the Muscogee County School District (Georgia) and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System each posted fresh produce and staple-item bids in late March 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division) both solicited food supply contracts covering proteins, grains, and staple items in May and July 2026. The code shows no material recent activity specifically isolated to dried corn products; the opportunities posted include dried corn among broader grocery categories but emphasize fresh produce, proteins, and prepared items. Purchasing bodies consistently require firm fixed pricing, Buy American Act compliance, USDA grade standards, food safety certification (HACCP, FDA), and delivery to school sites or central distribution centers on tight weekly schedules, often Monday–Friday with morning delivery windows.
