UNSPSC 50423252: Dried seneca brave corn

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

UNSPSC 50423252 Dried seneca brave corn, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product category that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent solicitation activity, however, shows minimal direct procurement of this specific commodity. The code itself describes a heritage corn variety with specialized applications, yet the opportunities posted under this code reflect a much broader food procurement landscape encompassing general grocery supplies, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and staple items for child nutrition and corrections facilities. State and local issuing bodies in this space include school districts, state correctional departments, and specialized nutrition programs such as CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program) initiatives. The recent opportunities reveal that procurement offices often tag broad food supply contracts with commodity-level codes even when the actual scope covers multiple product lines and categories.

The geographic spread of food procurement activity spans Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri, with school districts and state departments of corrections appearing as the primary repeat buyers. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas issuing RFP 2026-017 on July 16, 2026, for CACFP meal program supplies serving 400 children (due August 4, 2026); the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products across multiple Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouses (extended response due May 4, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 on April 6, 2026, for Master Grocery K-12 supplies to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000017140 on June 5, 2026, for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026). These opportunities demonstrate that while the code nominally identifies a single dried-corn product, state and local procurement under this classification encompasses institutional food service supply chains at scale, with contracts regularly exceeding millions of dollars annually and serving populations in the thousands to tens of thousands.
