UNSPSC 50423249: Dried pristine corn

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

UNSPSC 50423249 Dried pristine corn (Commodity) spans the procurement of dried legumes and grain staples for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying dried beans — pinto, red, black, and kidney varieties — far more actively than the code's nominal focus on corn. State correctional departments, food-service contractors supporting child and adult care meal programs, and state departments of corrections drive the bulk of activity under this code tier. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia appear as repeat purchasers, alongside specialized food-service programs operated by city governments and school districts. The work involves bulk procurement of triple-cleaned, food-grade dried legumes meeting USDA specifications and institutional meal-preparation standards, with strict compliance requirements around foreign-material thresholds, moisture content, grading, and FDA and HACCP certification.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with Oregon and Georgia appearing most frequently. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation adder and a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ, due October 9, 2026) on a delivered, all-inclusive basis. The City of Edinburg, Texas procured food and nonfood items for a child and adult care meal program serving 400 children daily (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) with a Texas local-vendor preference of 5% within city limits. The State of Oregon also bid dried black beans, triple-cleaned to USDA grading standards (S2910000017140, due August 21, 2026) for institutional use. Illinois and Georgia issued broader food-supply RFQs and RFPs covering multiple categories alongside beans, indicating consolidation of dried-legume purchasing within larger institutional food contracts. Palletization, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with state procurement regulations and food-safety certifications are standard requirements.
