UNSPSC 50433224: Dried organic golden cross bantam corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic golden cross bantam corn that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433224 Dried organic golden cross bantam corn, a Commodity code, does not reflect the activity actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities tagged to this code overwhelmingly involve broad food supply for institutional meal service—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations—rather than the specific heirloom corn variety the code nominally describes. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited dried pinto and red beans; school districts including Fairfax County (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Muscogee County (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia) have requested fresh produce and staple grocery items; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited a full range of food and nonfood supplies for a child and adult care meal program. The State of Illinois and State of Georgia have posted generic food supply solicitations. These buyers—state corrections departments, county and independent school districts, and municipal governments—are the primary issuers under this code, with school nutrition programs appearing most frequently in the recent activity.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest. Georgia dominates the recent opportunities, with four separate school district solicitations (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County) and one state-level food procurement between February and May 2026. Texas and Missouri each show one major school district opportunity, and Oregon has issued two corrections department solicitations for dried beans (March and June 2026). Illinois posted a quarterly food order in June 2026. Representative recent work includes the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services' solicitation (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, IFB due April 29, 2026) for over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and meats for the 2026–27 school year; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB S-29100-00016233, due March 20, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (heirloom corn) and the actual procurement (bulk institutional food supply across multiple categories) suggests the code may be misapplied in state sourcing systems or serves as a catch-all for food commodity purchases.
