UNSPSC 50423232: Dried iochief corn

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

UNSPSC 50423232 Dried iochief corn is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure dried corn and related dried grain staples to support child nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and school food services. Recent solicitations show minimal direct procurement of dried iochief corn specifically; instead, the code appears to capture dried legumes and grains within a broader food supply context. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two recent bids for dried pinto and red beans totaling approximately 170,000 pounds combined, establishing this as the most concrete recent activity under the code's nominal scope. Beyond legumes, issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, and Douglas County in Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon), state procurement offices (Illinois, Georgia, Texas), cities (Edinburg, Texas), and county school systems. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, has posted a broad cafeteria food products IFB encompassing multiple food categories; the City of Edinburg, Texas, is soliciting under a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving approximately 400 children daily; and the Douglas County School System has coordinated multi-district RFPs through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri.
