UNSPSC 50423241: Dried miracle corn

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

UNSPSC 50423241 Dried miracle corn is a Commodity code that in practice covers the procurement of dried legumes and beans for institutional food service and meal programs, not specifically miracle corn as the code name suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are acquiring dried beans—including kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans—in bulk quantities for correctional facilities, state agencies, school districts, and child nutrition programs. The work involves sourcing triple-cleaned dried legumes that meet USDA grade standards, managing delivery logistics to institutional kitchens and distribution centers, and ensuring compliance with food-safety regulations including FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon, Illinois, Georgia), state correctional agencies, cities, and school districts with meal programs serving hundreds to thousands of people daily.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Oregon and Georgia, with additional procurement from Texas and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an RFQ on June 5, 2026 (due June 19) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, FOB destination to Salem with a historical purchase price of $0.493 per pound and a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ on October 2, 2026 (due October 9) for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with all-inclusive delivery pricing. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food items including dried beans through an RFP for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children, with responses due August 4, 2026, and a 5% local-vendor preference. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB on May 4, 2026 for cafeteria food products spanning multiple line items and distribution points across Texas, extended via addendum to May 4, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Central Time. Institutional buyers typically require palletized delivery, shelf-life certifications, product samples, and compliance documentation; pricing is all-inclusive with no separate freight reimbursement.
