UNSPSC 50433203: Dried organic ambrosia corn

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

UNSPSC 50433203 Dried organic ambrosia corn, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of specialty dried grain and legume products for institutional food service, institutional corrections, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show the code applied primarily to dried beans (pinto and red varieties) rather than ambrosia corn specifically, indicating either misclassification in source data or minimal current activity under the corn commodity itself. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments, school districts, and county school systems across multiple states, with no single repeat buyer dominating recent activity.

Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate ITBs for dried pinto beans in the past four months—127,500 pounds due March 20, 2026 (ITB S2910000016233) and 42,500 pounds due June 19, 2026 (ITB S2910000017140)—both specifying triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade beans, FOB destination to Salem, Oregon, with a combined evaluation preference of up to 10 percent for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. Historical pricing referenced in the June solicitation was $0.493 per pound; the March solicitation noted a prior award at $0.43 per pound. Recent activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast; Georgia has issued multiple school nutrition RFPs for fresh produce and eggs through cooperative purchasing vehicles (Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for 30 districts, due March 4, 2026, with estimated spend of $5.5 million), and Texas school districts and state agencies have solicited food service items through standard IFB channels. The code shows relevant purchasing volume in institutional corrections and K–12 food service but limited recent evidence of ambrosia corn procurement specifically, with dried legume activity dominating the recorded opportunities.
