UNSPSC 50423269: Dried tuxedo corn

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

UNSPSC 50423269 Dried tuxedo corn, a Commodity code, covers dried and processed beans and legumes procured by state and local institutional food-service operations, correctional systems, school districts, and child-nutrition programs. State and local governments buy dried beans—including kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans—in bulk quantities for kitchen-ready institutional cooking and meal preparation. Recent solicitations show procurement of 880-bag increments for correctional-facility meal services, multi-hundred-pound quantities for state prison cafeterias, and weekly supply fulfillment for institutional food programs. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices procuring on behalf of correctional industries, city municipal food programs serving child and adult care facilities, and state agencies supporting educational and institutional meal services. Specifications typically require USDA-consistent grading (Grade A, B, or U.S. No. 2 or better), triple-cleaned product with defined defect and foreign-material thresholds, moisture-content compliance, and minimum one-year shelf life. Delivery terms are all-inclusive, FOB destination, with palletized shipments and daily or as-needed fulfillment cadences.

Oregon and Georgia show the most recent procurement activity under this code. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation advantage (5% for in-state fabrication, 5% for in-state headquarters), FOB destination to Salem with 45-day delivery windows and historical pricing near $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ in early October 2026 for kidney beans in 880-bag delivery increments, responses due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive delivery pricing and no separate freight reimbursement. Texas and Illinois state procurement divisions also posted food-supply solicitations covering dried beans and legumes as line items within broader institutional food-service RFQs and IFBs in May and June 2026. State and local responses to these solicitations show emphasis on compliance with food-safety and USDA standards, firm pricing with transportation included, and institutional-scale logistics capabilities.
