UNSPSC 50423227: Dried how sweet it is corn

The variety of corn known as how sweet it is corn that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423227 Dried how sweet it is corn is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations posted under it diverge significantly from the code's nominal scope. The opportunities actually being bought include dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), institutional food products for correctional facilities and child-care meal programs, and cafeteria supplies for criminal-justice agencies. The issuing bodies span state correctional departments (Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), municipal procurement (City of Edinburg, Texas), and institutional food service for youth programs. The code shows limited activity that directly aligns with corn procurement; instead, it captures a broader institutional-food purchasing category centered on dried legumes and bulk foodstuffs for high-volume meal operations.

Recent opportunities appear primarily in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two bids for dried beans—approximately 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) and dried black beans, triple-cleaned (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026)—both requiring USDA-consistent grading, compliance with FDA and HACCP standards, and palletized FOB delivery to distribution centers. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, eRFQ, due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive pricing and no separate freight reimbursement. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP2026017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies covering beverages, paper goods, proteins, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for 400 children daily (due August 4, 2026), with a local-vendor preference. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply five geographic areas across Texas (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2). Illinois posted a quarterly food-order solicitation (27497DVAQUINCB52821, bid due June 26, 2026) for state institutional use. These procurements emphasize triple-cleaned beans, institutional-grade food products, compliance-heavy specifications, and bulk deliveries to state and local distribution or meal-service points.
