UNSPSC 50423256: Dried seneca white knight corn

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

UNSPSC 50423256 Dried seneca white knight corn (Commodity) covers dried legumes and grains for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code are predominantly for dried beans—pinto, red, black, and kidney varieties—rather than the nominal corn product. State and local governments procure these items in bulk for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, school districts, and other institutional meal services. The work involves specifying USDA-graded, food-safe bulk commodities with defined moisture content, contamination limits, and triple-cleaning standards; meeting delivery windows and pallet specifications; and complying with FDA, USDA, and HACCP requirements. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and education, state purchasing divisions, cities, and regional food-service entities. Recent solicitations reflect institutional purchasing patterns: large volumes (tens of thousands of pounds), firm fixed pricing on an all-inclusive basis with no separate freight reimbursement, FOB destination delivery to centralized distribution points, and strict specification compliance without tolerance for shorthand responses.

Activity concentrates in Oregon and Georgia, with secondary opportunities in Texas and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans at $0.493 per pound (historical incumbent pricing), with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors and a June 19 response deadline. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in October 2026 (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9) in 880-bag increments, delivery included in bid pricing. The State of Oregon requested bids on dried black beans (triple-cleaned, August 2026, due August 21) for state agencies and educational institutions. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois also posted food-supply opportunities covering dried legumes as components of broader institutional meal-service contracts. Bidders face rigorous specification documentation requirements, formal communication restrictions, insurance minimums (typically $500,000 general liability), and firm delivery schedules; protest rights may be limited or waived depending on issuing body.
