UNSPSC 50423244: Dried pearl white corn

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

UNSPSC 50423244 Dried pearl white corn is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried legumes and grains for institutional food service, including corrections, child care, and educational programs. Recent solicitations show state agencies and correctional systems purchasing dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties) in bulk for meal preparation, though the code's nominal scope of pearl white corn does not match the predominant activity in the opportunity sample — kidney beans, pinto beans, and other dried legumes are the goods actually being solicited under this tag. State purchasing offices and corrections departments drive most of the recent volume: Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted competitive bids for dried legumes in the past four months. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the Boys & Girls Club are also active, procuring food products including dried beans under CACFP meal programs with local-vendor preferences and Texas Department of Agriculture compliance requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with Georgia, Texas, and Oregon posting the most recent solicitations. The Oregon Department of Corrections sought approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned, FOB destination to Salem by June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon preference (5% for in-state fabrication or processing and 5% for Oregon-headquartered vendors) and a historical price of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026 (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027), with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification compliance required. The State of Oregon also posted a separate bid for triple-cleaned dried black beans (IFB S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026) for institutional use by state agencies and educational institutions. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations, which included legumes alongside proteins, dairy, and specialty items with USDA grading requirements and FOB destination delivery to six distribution points statewide.
