UNSPSC 50404002: English peas

The variety of green peas known as english peas

UNSPSC 50404002 English peas is a Commodity code representing fresh produce items — specifically English peas and related fresh fruits and vegetables — that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing English peas as part of broader fresh produce contracts serving correctional facilities, state supported living centers, public schools, and senior centers, though most recent opportunities name peas only indirectly within wider fresh-vegetable or fresh-produce line-item categories. The issuing bodies span state correctional and health agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county and municipal school districts (Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, Madison Metropolitan School District), county parks and recreation authorities (Collier County), and municipal senior services divisions (City of San Antonio). State and local procurement under this code emphasizes firm, fixed unit pricing; F.O.B. Destination delivery with vendor-absorbed freight; USDA grade compliance; and bulk quantities ordered on an as-needed basis rather than guaranteed minimums.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting consumables and noncontract food items for Lufkin State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetables for multiple food warehouses and prison facilities under solicitations IW267420 (Snyder), IW267411 (Wynne), and IW267376 (Palestine), all with October deadlines, and the Illinois Department of Corrections seeking fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under small-business-set-aside RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 (due September 3, 2026) requiring bi-weekly deliveries of specified produce meeting USDA criteria. School nutrition programs in Georgia — including Dougherty County (IFB due June 16, 2026), Bryan County (sealed bid due May 27, 2026), Bartow County (RFP due June 22, 2026), and Early County (bid due June 8, 2026) — solicit fresh produce with local-sourcing preferences (typically 400 miles) and delivery to central warehouses or individual school sites. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITN for food concession services at North Collier Regional Park (proposals due March 6, 2025, with local-vendor preference) and the City of San Antonio's Department of Human Services sought consulting and produce-distribution services for senior center operations under RFP 26-070 (due May 27, 2026). Pricing remains firm for 30 to 240 days depending on the issuing body; contracts typically run 12 months with one- to two-year renewal options at the buyer's discretion.
