UNSPSC 50423242: Dried nk-199 corn

The variety of corn known as nk-199 corn that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423242 Dried nk-199 corn (Commodity) covers dried legumes and grains procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block shows active solicitation for dried beans—pinto, red, kidney, and black beans—rather than the code's nominal nk-199 corn specification. State and local buyers under this code include correctional facilities (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), child and adult care food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state purchasing divisions acquiring bulk food staples for multi-agency distribution. Specifications consistently emphasize USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning to remove foreign material and contaminants, moisture-content limits, palletization on standardized wooden pallets, FOB destination delivery to central distribution centers, and compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP requirements. Institutional buyers price all deliveries on an all-inclusive basis with no separate freight reimbursement, require daily or scheduled deliveries to multiple warehouse locations, and expect shelf-life guarantees ranging from 60 days to one year.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% combined evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and bidders headquartered in Oregon; the incumbent contractor Intersect USA had supplied beans at $0.493 per pound in August 2025. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in increments of 880 bags (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items including proteins, grains, and legumes across five geographic distribution points (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2). The City of Edinburg, Texas, requested proposals for CACFP meal-program supplies including food products and nonfood items for 400 children daily (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The State of Illinois solicited a quarterly weekly food order (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) with no contract value or incumbent specified in available materials.
