UNSPSC 50433235: Dried organic kandy korn corn

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

UNSPSC 50433235 Dried organic kandy korn corn is a Commodity code for specialty dried corn products, though recent state and local opportunities indexed under this code show a significant mismatch with its nominal scope. The recent solicitations reveal that state and local governments are actively procuring dried legumes—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—for institutional food service rather than dried candy corn or related specialty corn products. The issuing bodies span state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state departments of agriculture or purchasing, city governments (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state education or institutional meal-service programs (State of Illinois, State of Oregon). Procurement activity centers on bulk ingredient supply for cafeteria and meal-service operations serving hundreds of people daily, with specification-driven requirements for grade standards, moisture content, contamination thresholds, and FDA and USDA compliance. Delivery terms are consistently all-inclusive and FOB destination to institutional warehouses or distribution centers, with palletization, cold-chain logistics, and shelf-life requirements standard across opportunities.

Geographic spread centers on the South and Pacific Northwest, with the most recent and largest-volume opportunities posted from Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois between May and October 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10 percent Oregon-based vendor preference (5 percent for Oregon fabrication, 5 percent for Oregon headquarters) and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, solicited cafeteria food products via IFB 304T-26-300CF (response extended to May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and related staples across six Texas distribution points; Georgia Correctional Industries issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive pricing and no separate freight reimbursement; and the State of Illinois posted a quarterly weekly food-order solicitation for the July-September quarter (June 26, 2026 due date). The code's recent activity does not align with dried candy corn procurement and shows no current representative demand for that commodity in state and local markets.
