UNSPSC 50423228: Dried hudson corn

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

UNSPSC 50423228 Dried hudson corn is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers dried legumes and grains for institutional food service, including dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, black), which dominate the recent solicitation record. State and local governments use this code to procure bulk food staples for correctional facilities, school meal programs (including CACFP), state agency cafeterias, and other institutional cooking operations. The solicitations specify USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning requirements for contaminant removal, compliance with food-safety regulations (FDA, USDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), and delivery in institutional quantities—typically palletized shipments to distribution centers or weekly deliveries to meal-service sites. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state purchasing offices, county school districts, cities running child-nutrition programs, and institutional food-service operations. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Illinois have posted bids under this code in the past five months.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Recent opportunities include the Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ for 880-bag increments of kidney beans due October 9, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% in-state preference (5% for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon, 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas, extended to May 4, 2026; the City of Edinburg CACFP meal program RFP for beverage, paper goods, food products, janitorial, and nonfood items due August 4, 2026, with Texas local-vendor preference for bids within 5% of the lowest price; and the State of Oregon bid for dried black beans (triple-cleaned, USDA standards) due August 21, 2026. Delivery is almost always included in bid pricing on an all-inclusive basis with no separate freight reimbursement; responses must be submitted electronically and conform strictly to specification sheets without use of compliance shortcuts.
