UNSPSC 50433260: Dried organic spring snow corn

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

UNSPSC 50433260 Dried organic spring snow corn is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses state and local procurement of dried legumes and bulk staple food items for institutional meal service and correctional-facility feeding programs. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local buyers tag dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans—under this code despite the nominal "spring snow corn" descriptor; the actual scope spans triple-cleaned dried legumes meeting USDA grading standards, typically procured in large quantities for kitchen preparation and bulk distribution. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, municipal governments, and school districts operating child-care food programs. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Texas (via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), and the City of Edinburg, Texas, are recent active buyers under this code. Specifications consistently emphasize food-safety compliance (FDA, USDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice standards), triple-cleaning or equivalent debris removal, moisture-content limits, defect-rate thresholds, and palletization or bulk packaging suitable for institutional cooking.

Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and South—Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois—with the most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB in June 2026 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, FOB destination to Salem, Oregon, with a June 19, 2026 response deadline and a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors; the historical incumbent price was $0.493 per pound. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB (304T26300CF) for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including dried beans and other staples, with responses due May 4, 2026 (extended from April 21 via addendum), FOB destination to six distribution points across Texas, and contract term through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an electronic RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) for kidney beans in 880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet compliance requirements. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP (2026-017) in August 2026 for CACFP meal-program supplies serving approximately 400 children daily over 9 months, with a local-vendor preference of 5% for City of Edinburg bidders and daily delivery requirements before noon.
