UNSPSC 50423224: Dried golden cross bantam corn

The variety of corn known as golden cross bantam corn that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423224 Dried golden cross bantam corn is a Commodity code that sits at the most granular taxonomy tier and describes a single agricultural product. State and local governments procuring under this code are actually buying dried corn and dried legumes—particularly dried beans and pinto beans—as staple ingredients for institutional food service programs serving schools, correctional facilities, child nutrition programs, and other public dining operations. The recent solicitations show minimal activity specifically tagged to dried golden cross bantam corn itself; instead, the code appears to capture a broader family of dried vegetable proteins and starches essential to mass feeding operations where procurement officers need reliable, shelf-stable, USDA-compliant products delivered in bulk.

Recent opportunities come from school districts, state departments of corrections, and child nutrition agencies across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds in March 2026 and 42,500 pounds in June 2026, both due within two weeks of posting), specifying triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade beans with minimum one-year shelf life, FOB destination to Salem, and pricing inclusive of all transportation and fuel surcharges; the historical reference price was $0.43–$0.493 per pound. The City of Edinburg, Texas Child and Adult Care Food Program solicited food products including dried staples on RFP2026017 (due August 4, 2026) for 400 children daily over a nine-month term with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) both issued multi-hundred-line-item grocery procurement RFPs spanning produce, proteins, and staples for school nutrition, where dried goods typically comprise a subset of the broader food supply contract. The State of Illinois solicited a quarterly food order (ITB 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) with brand-specific or equivalent items but did not disclose scope details. The code shows intermittent activity among institutional food service buyers in states with large prison populations and multi-school purchasing consortia, but no dominant repeat buyer or geographic concentration.
