UNSPSC 50423237: Dried lancelot corn

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

UNSPSC 50423237 Dried lancelot corn, a Commodity code, describes specialty dried corn products that state and local governments procure primarily through food service operations, including K–12 school districts, corrections agencies, and child nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show minimal direct demand for dried lancelot corn itself; instead, the code appears to span a broader family of dried legumes and commodity grains used in institutional meal service. State and local procurement offices issue these solicitations under various notice types — IFB, RFP, RFQ, ITB — with issuing bodies including state corrections departments, school districts, and municipal child nutrition agencies. The scope of work under this code encompasses dried commodity ingredients meeting USDA grade standards (typically U.S. No. 2 or better), triple-cleaned, palletized, and delivered FOB destination to central distribution points or individual school sites with minimum shelf-life certifications and FDA compliance documentation.

Activity under the code concentrates in the South and West. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two recent ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (June 2026, approximately 42,500 pounds) and dried pinto beans alone (March 2026, approximately 127,500 pounds), both due within weeks and both evaluated on lowest responsive, responsible bid with Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendor preferences of 5 percent each. Texas procurements dominate the volume: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T26300CF, May 2026, extended to May 4 response date) across multiple warehouse locations, encompassing 382 line items including grains and starches; the City of Edinburg issued an RFP for CACFP meal program supplies (RFP2026017, August 4 response date) covering food products for 400 children daily with a local-vendor 5 percent preference. Georgia school districts issued multiple fresh-produce and food-supply RFPs through cooperative purchasing vehicles (Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4–$1.1 million per geographic area, March 4 response deadline). Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District solicited over 900 grocery line items for 2026–27 (April 29 response deadline). Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia, solicited master grocery K–12 (IFB 2000004323, April 27 response) for 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. No recent opportunities specifically named dried lancelot corn; procurement activity under this code focuses on dried pinto and red beans, broader grocery and fresh-produce supply, and institutional meal-service ingredients meeting USDA commodity standards.
