UNSPSC 50433255: Dried organic seneca starshine corn

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

UNSPSC 50433255 Dried organic seneca starshine corn, a Commodity code, encompasses dried legumes and grains for institutional food service, but recent state and local solicitations show procurement activity concentrated almost entirely in dried beans rather than the specific corn variety named in the code. State and local governments are buying bulk dried beans—pinto, red, kidney, and black varieties—primarily for correctional facilities, child care food programs, and state agency meal preparation. The issuing bodies are predominantly state corrections departments, state purchasing offices, municipal and county food service operations, and specialized state or county institutional food programs. Scope centers on USDA-graded, triple-cleaned dried legumes in bulk quantities (thousands to tens of thousands of pounds), with rigid specifications on moisture content, foreign-material thresholds, defect tolerances, shelf life, and compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards. Deliveries are palletized, FOB destination to central distribution centers or direct to meal-service sites, with pricing all-inclusive of freight and fuel surcharges.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Oregon and Georgia, with additional solicitations from Texas and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) with a combined 10% state and in-state preference, the State of Georgia requesting dried black beans (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026), Georgia Correctional Industries bidding kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing an IFB for cafeteria food products including dried beans across multiple Texas warehouse locations (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21). The City of Edinburg, Texas, also solicited food supplies including dried beans for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children (RFP2026017, due August 11, 2026). These procurements are routine, recurring, and heavily specification-driven; vendors face strict compliance requirements, mandatory pre-bid or technical-question processes, and pressure on all-inclusive pricing with no separate line-item reimbursement for freight or handling.
