UNSPSC 50433207: Dried organic biqueen corn

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

UNSPSC 50433207 Dried organic biqueen corn, a Commodity code, encompasses bulk dried legumes and grains sourced for institutional food service — particularly dried beans in multiple varieties (kidney, pinto, red, and black) supplied to state correctional facilities, child care programs, and other public agencies for meal preparation. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring triple-cleaned dried beans meeting USDA grading standards in quantities ranging from approximately 880-bag increments to 42,500 pounds, with specifications emphasizing moisture content, foreign-material thresholds, shelf life, and compliance with FDA and HACCP requirements. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (Oregon, Georgia, Illinois), and municipal entities supporting child and adult care food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The mix reflects institutional procurement across corrections, education, and social services.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with recent opportunities posted by Oregon (two solicitations for dried beans in June and August 2026), Georgia (two opportunities in May and October 2026), Illinois (June 2026), and Texas (May and August 2026). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST), which offered a combined 10% evaluation preference (5% for Oregon fabrication and 5% for Oregon headquarters), FOB delivery to Salem within 45 days, and referenced a historical purchase price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA; and Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2, 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (bids due October 9, 2026), requiring all-inclusive delivery pricing with no separate freight or tariff reimbursement and mandating full specification-sheet completion without compliance shortcuts. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across proteins, grains, dairy, and vegetables signals broader institutional food-service activity across the code's scope, though the mismatch between the code name (dried organic biqueen corn) and actual recent opportunities in dried legumes suggests the taxonomy may not align perfectly with current procurement patterns.
