UNSPSC 50423235: Dried kandy korn corn

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

UNSPSC 50423235 Dried kandy korn corn, a Commodity code, nominally describes corn products but recent state and local solicitations show actual procurement activity centers on dried legumes — kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans — for institutional food service and correctional facilities. The code captures bulk procurement of commodity-grade dried beans suitable for cafeteria, prison, and food-assistance programs where pricing is highly cost-sensitive and product must meet USDA or state grading standards with controlled defect thresholds and shelf-life requirements. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement divisions acting on behalf of institutional customers, municipal governments operating child and adult care food programs, and state agencies procuring for educational and other institutional use. Georgia and Oregon have posted the most recent activity; Texas and Illinois also show institutional food-service procurement under this code.

Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans (due October 9, 2026, solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027) specifying 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet compliance requirements; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026, solicitation S2910000017140) with triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 grade standards, a combined 10% Oregon-preference evaluation incentive, and an incumbent reference price of $0.493 per pound; and the City of Edinburg, Texas's RFP for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supply covering beverages, paper goods, food products, and janitorial supplies serving 400 children daily (due August 4, 2026, solicitation RFP2026017) with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Illinois has posted a quarterly food-order solicitation (due June 26, 2026, solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821) with limited available detail. These procurements typically require FOB destination delivery, compliance with food-safety regulations, and responsive bidding with no use of compliance shortcuts or vague acceptance language.
