UNSPSC 50423239: Dried medley corn

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

UNSPSC 50423239 Dried medley corn, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual recent procurement activity in state and local contracting. The code's nominal scope — dried medley corn as a single commodity ingredient — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it, which span broad food service procurement across multiple categories including fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and prepared items for school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs. The sourcing bodies are predominantly state education agencies, county school systems, and state correctional departments procuring meal-service ingredients for large-scale operations. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs and state food service operations representing the repeat-buyer base.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program) RFP for food and nonfood items serving 400 children daily across five supply categories with an August 4, 2026 response deadline; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and staples with delivery to six distribution points (response due May 4, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for Master Grocery K-12 to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries beginning July 1, 2026 (sealed bids due April 27, 2026); the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri soliciting over 900 grocery line items for the 2026–27 school year through April 29, 2026; and the Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution services to supply 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual spend of approximately $9,000,000 (response due February 18, 2026). Evaluation criteria across these procurements weight cost heavily alongside vendor qualifications, compliance with nutritional and USDA standards, delivery logistics, and service capacity. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction — Texas jurisdictions apply local-vendor preferences under state law; Oregon applies Oregon-fabrication and resident-bidder preferences; and most school districts explicitly contain no disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides but permit bidders to self-classify as small business, minority-owned, or women-owned for internal tracking.
