UNSPSC 50423262: Dried sugar and gold corn

The variety of corn known as sugar & gold corn that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423262 Dried sugar and gold corn is a Commodity code that in practice covers dried legumes and institutional food staples procured by state agencies, correctional systems, and school districts for bulk meal preparation and food service. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments buying dried beans (kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans) in large institutional quantities, typically 40,000 to 100,000+ pounds per procurement, for correctional facilities, child care food programs, and state institutional kitchens. The issuing bodies are predominantly state purchasing offices (Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), state departments of criminal justice, and city food service programs. Specifications consistently require triple-cleaned beans, USDA Grade 2 or better, compliance with FDA and HACCP standards, and palletized delivery to central distribution points or institutional kitchens.

The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid on June 5, 2026, for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026 and a 10% combined preference (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders) on evaluation; the incumbent historical price was $0.493 per pound as of August 2025.
