UNSPSC 50423255: Dried seneca starshine corn

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

UNSPSC 50423255 Dried seneca starshine corn is a Commodity code that in practice covers dried legumes and grains for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code span a broader range of dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans — rather than the specific corn variety the code nominally names. State and local buyers use this code to procure bulk dried legumes for correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and educational institutions, with deliveries typically specified in large quantities (880-bag increments, 42,500-pound orders) suitable for institutional kitchens and bulk meal preparation. Issuing bodies include state correctional agencies, state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices acting on behalf of institutional users, and municipal governments managing child care food programs. The work involves submitting sealed bids with detailed specifications compliance, meeting USDA grading standards and food-safety certifications, and committing to FOB destination delivery with all-inclusive pricing that incorporates freight and fuel surcharges.

Recent activity clusters in Oregon and Georgia, with additional solicitations from Texas and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders and requiring triple-cleaned beans meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards, FOB destination to Salem within 45 days, and a one-year minimum shelf life. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments with bids due October 9, 2026, requiring electronic PDF submission and all-inclusive delivery pricing. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted an RFP on August 11, 2026, for a Child and Adult Care Food Program covering beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items serving approximately 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 favoring bids within 5% of the lowest price from vendors within the city. The State of Oregon solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned, with bids due August 21, 2026, intended for institutional use by state agencies and educational institutions.
