UNSPSC 50423266: Dried telstar corn

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

UNSPSC 50423266 Dried telstar corn, a Commodity code, represents institutional and correctional food procurement at the state level, though recent solicitations tagged under this code actually span dried legumes — kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans — rather than corn products. State and local governments under this code are buying bulk dried legumes for institutional meal service, including correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and state-agency warehouse distribution. The issuing bodies are primarily state corrections departments and state purchasing offices (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), along with municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas) and state-level procurement divisions acting on behalf of departmental end-users. Specifications emphasize triple-cleaned product, USDA grading standards (U.S. No. 2 or better), compliance with FDA and HACCP requirements, and institutional-scale packaging (palletized, 2,500-pound-maximum loads). Deliveries are FOB destination to central distribution centers or directly to meal-service sites, with daily delivery windows in some cases.

Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Southwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026, IFB with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA); the State of Oregon issued a separate solicitation for dried black beans, triple-cleaned (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026). Georgia Correctional Industries requested bids on kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ due October 9, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, sought food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 for bids within 5% of the lowest price). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured multiple cafeteria food categories including proteins and legumes via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division (304T-26-300CF, IFB extended to May 4, 2026, with a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee). The Illinois Department of Corrections solicited a quarterly food order (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026). Pricing is typically all-inclusive with no separate freight charges, and contracts often allow price adjustments tied to incumbent or manufacturer pricing benchmarks.
