UNSPSC 50423229: Dried illini gold corn

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

UNSPSC 50423229 Dried illini gold corn (Commodity) covers dried legume procurement for state and local institutional meal programs, correctional facilities, and educational service operations. The recent solicitation record shows state and local buyers are acquiring dried beans—kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties—in bulk quantities for cafeteria operations, correctional-industry food service, and child and adult care food programs. The code appears misaligned with recent activity; the posted opportunities are sourcing dried beans of various types rather than the specific illini gold corn the code names, suggesting either a classification mismatch in the issuing bodies' tagging or a broader institutional dried-commodity family in practice at state and local level that encompasses legumes interchangeably for bulk food service.

State correctional agencies and departments of corrections dominate recent procurements under this code, alongside city purchasing offices and state education or food-service divisions. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) posted for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a response deadline of June 19, 2026, including Oregon-based vendor preferences (5% for goods fabricated in-state, 5% for in-state headquarters), FOB destination delivery to Salem, and historical pricing of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ on October 2, 2026, for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with delivery due October 9, 2026, all-inclusive of freight with no separate line-item reimbursement. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items including dried beans for a CACFP meal program serving 400 children daily under an RFP with local-vendor preference (5% price advantage for City of Edinburg suppliers). The State of Illinois and State of Georgia also posted food supply procurements with dried legume components in June and May 2026 respectively. Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest—Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois—with procurement volumes typically ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of pounds per order and delivery windows of 20–45 days.
