UNSPSC 50433244: Dried organic pearl white corn

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

UNSPSC 50433244 Dried organic pearl white corn, a Commodity code, addresses institutional food procurement for state corrections systems, school meal programs, and child care facilities — though the recent opportunities block shows limited activity specifically for the nominated commodity. The code encompasses bulk dried legume and grain purchases for institutional kitchens, where state and local agencies specify USDA grading standards, moisture limits, contaminant thresholds, and delivery logistics. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state procurement offices acting on behalf of correctional and child-care operations, city governments managing meal programs, and educational institutions. The work involves responsive bidding against detailed technical specifications, compliance with food-safety regulations (FDA, USDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), and delivery to centralized distribution points or daily service locations.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with the most visible solicitations issued by the State of Oregon Department of Corrections (dried beans, multiple procurement cycles), Georgia Correctional Industries (kidney beans, October 2026), the City of Edinburg, Texas (child care meal program, August 2026), and the State of Illinois (weekly food orders, June 2026). The Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 (kidney beans, 880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000017140 (42,500 pounds dried pinto and red beans, due June 19, 2026) exemplify the bidding environment — fixed USDA specifications, FOB destination or all-inclusive pricing, pallet-weight and delivery-timeline constraints, and preference programs (Oregon applies 10% combined preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors). The Texas Comptroller Statewide Procurement Division IFB 304T-26-300CF (cafeteria food products for Texas Department of Criminal Justice, due May 4, 2026) illustrates the breadth of institutional food procurement beyond the nominal commodity, though the code itself shows limited recent postings specifically for dried organic pearl white corn.
