UNSPSC 50423248: Dried precocious corn

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

UNSPSC 50423248 Dried precocious corn (Commodity) covers dried legumes and grains procured for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show a pronounced mismatch between the nominal commodity name and actual purchasing activity. The recent opportunities record requests for kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and broader cafeteria food products—all dried legumes and institutional meal-program staples—but no activity specifically matching "dried precocious corn." State and local buyers use this code to procure dried beans and specialty grains in bulk for correctional facilities, state agencies, child-care food programs, and educational institutions; deliveries are typically palletized, triple-cleaned to USDA or equivalent standards, and priced on an all-inclusive FOB-destination basis with no separate freight recovery. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Illinois), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Texas), municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas), and institutional food-service operators. The code sees activity primarily from state correctional systems and state-level procurement on behalf of institutional users; Georgia Correctional Industries and the Oregon Department of Corrections are repeat buyers in the recent record.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, RFQ, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors; Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ, due October 9, 2026); and the City of Edinburg, Texas, requested food products including dried legumes as part of a broader CACFP meal program (RFP 2026017, RFP, due August 4, 2026) with a local-vendor preference under Texas statute. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products across multiple categories including beans through the Texas Comptroller (IFB 304T26300CF, extended response due May 4, 2026). Oregon and Texas dominate recent volume; Georgia shows secondary activity. Beans must consistently meet U.S. No. 2 or better grade, arrive triple-cleaned with FDA and HACCP compliance documentation, and be delivered FOB destination within 30 to 45 days of order; no specific set-asides or MBE/WBE preferences are stated in the recent records, though Texas applies a statewide administrative fee and some jurisdictions enforce local-vendor preferences.
