UNSPSC 50423260: Dried spring snow corn

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

UNSPSC 50423260 Dried spring snow corn, a Commodity code, does not appear in the recent state and local contract opportunities block; the code nominally covers spring snow corn, but the recent solicitations posted against this code actually procure kidney beans, pinto and red beans, black beans, and miscellaneous cafeteria food products for institutional meal service and correctional facilities. The work being solicited under this code comprises bulk dried bean procurement — a staple protein source for state correctional systems, school meal programs, and other institutional food service operations. Issuing bodies include state corrections and procurement departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing divisions (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), and municipal entities operating child and adult care food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The solicitations emphasize USDA grading compliance, triple-cleaning standards for contaminant removal, and strict specification adherence; bidders must submit detailed compliance documentation in place of generic confirmations and must price deliveries all-inclusive with no separate freight or surcharge line items.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ (solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) sought kidney beans in 880-bag increments with electronic PDF submission and no-shortcuts specification compliance. The Oregon Department of Corrections IFB (solicitation S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026) requested approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans meeting U.S. No. 2 grade or better, triple-cleaned, palletized FOB Salem with a historical reference price of $0.493 per pound and a combined 10% preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB (solicitation 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026 after extension) covered approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including dried beans, with FOB destination to six statewide distribution points and single-award or multi-award structure at the state's discretion. The City of Edinburg RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) solicited food and nonfood supplies for a CACFP meal program serving 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and daily delivery requirements before noon. Activity in this code reflects steady demand from state institutional food service and special-purpose districts but shows misalignment between the nominal commodity description and actual procurement scope.
