UNSPSC 50433269: Dried organic tuxedo corn

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

UNSPSC 50433269 Dried organic tuxedo corn, a Commodity code, encompasses bulk dried legumes and specialty grains procured by state and local institutions for cafeteria, correctional, and child nutrition programs. State and local governments buy under this code primarily to supply institutional meal services—correctional facilities, public schools, child and adult care programs, and state university or agency dining operations. The recent solicitations show that dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties) dominate actual purchasing, with orders ranging from roughly 42,500 pounds for Oregon Department of Corrections to 880-bag increments for Georgia Correctional Industries. These are typically bulk procurements with detailed food-safety specifications (USDA grading, triple-cleaning standards, moisture limits, foreign-material thresholds), FOB destination delivery to institutional distribution centers, and all-inclusive pricing that absorbs freight and handling. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state purchasing offices procuring on behalf of multiple agencies, and municipal governments operating child nutrition programs; Georgia and Oregon appear as repeat buyers in the recent record.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two separate dried-bean solicitations (pinto and red beans in June 2026, black beans in August 2026), reflecting the volume and regularity of institutional dried-legume procurement. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, specifying 880-bag increments with delivery included in bid pricing and strict specification-sheet formatting requirements (no shorthand notation, checkmarks, or ditto marks permitted). The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service due August 4, 2026, requesting five supply categories including dried proteins and foods for 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference (5% price preference for City of Edinburg–based suppliers under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051) and daily weekday delivery before noon. Oregon's June 2026 pinto and red bean procurement offered a combined 10% evaluation preference (5% for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon, 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders) and referenced a historical price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, with response deadline extended to May 4, 2026, and contract terms through August 31, 2027, plus two optional one-year renewals.
