UNSPSC 50423261: Dried spring treat corn

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

UNSPSC 50423261 Dried spring treat corn (Commodity) covers bulk institutional food procurement for state and local government feeding programs, though recent solicitations under this code are actually for dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans — rather than corn. State and local governments buy these items to supply correctional facilities, institutional cafeterias, child and adult care food programs, and other mass-feeding operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of other agencies, city governments running food-service programs, and state agencies procuring for educational and institutional use. Solicitations are typically structured as RFQs or IFBs with all-inclusive delivered pricing, specification requirements for grade standards and contamination thresholds, and strict formatting and compliance documentation rules. The code shows material activity across multiple jurisdiction types rather than concentration in a single issuing body.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with the most recent solicitations posted between May and October 2026. The Georgia Department of Corrections Industries issued an RFQ on October 2, 2026 (due October 9) for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with delivery included in pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division posted a bid solicitation on June 5, 2026 (due June 19) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans at a historical price of $0.493 per pound, with Oregon-fabrication and headquarters preferences totaling 10% evaluation credit; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 covering cafeteria food products including dried beans alongside proteins, dairy, and staple items for distribution across five Texas warehouse locations; and the State of Illinois solicited a quarterly weekly food order on June 18, 2026 (due June 26) under brand-specific or approved-equal terms. The City of Edinburg, Texas also posted an RFP on August 11, 2026 for CACFP meal-program supplies including food and nonfood items, with local-vendor preference under Texas Government Code Section 271.9051. Pricing and delivery logistics remain competitive across all recent opportunities, with FOB destination, palletization requirements, grade certifications, and food-safety compliance standard.
