UNSPSC 50423265: Dried sundance corn

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

UNSPSC 50423265 Dried sundance corn (Commodity) covers dried corn products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this specific code is minimal—the source presents no direct opportunities for dried sundance corn itself. The most recent tagged opportunities span adjacent dried-goods categories: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds, March 2026; 42,500 pounds, June 2026 at $0.493 per pound historical pricing), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Statewide Procurement Division solicited cafeteria food products including diverse proteins, grains, dairy, and staple items across five geographic warehouse regions (IFB 304T26300CF, May 2026). School districts and correction agencies dominate the issuing-body mix for this commodity tier, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) establishing a K-12 grocery term contract spanning 52 weeks from July 2026, and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) soliciting over 900 line items for child nutrition services including dried goods, vegetables, and prepared entrees. State purchasing divisions in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Oregon show consistent activity in commodity-level food procurement, often through RFPs and ITBs with firm fixed pricing and multi-location delivery requirements.

Geographic concentration clusters in the South and Pacific Northwest: Texas (TDCJ warehouse distribution across five regions), Georgia (multiple school district procurements including Douglas County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham for produce and eggs), Oregon (ODOC central distribution in Salem), and Missouri (Rockwood and other school districts). Illinois and Virginia round out recent activity. Evaluation methodologies typically weight cost heavily (30–50 points or percentage weighting), with secondary consideration of vendor qualifications, experience, delivery capability, and compliance with USDA Grade A/B standards, FDA, and HACCP requirements. Minimum three to five years' prior experience supplying public institutions and general liability insurance in the $1–2 million range are standard requirements. Delivery terms are predominantly F.O.B. destination with prepaid freight, weekly or daily service windows (typically Monday–Friday before noon or 2 p.m.), and firm fixed pricing for 12-month terms. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the opportunities reviewed, though Oregon and some jurisdictions apply regional preferences (5–10 percent for in-state fabrication or headquarters).
