UNSPSC 50404006: Sugar snap peas

The variety of green peas known as sugar snap peas

UNSPSC 50404006 Sugar snap peas, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce items that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, including cafeteria supply, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent solicitations show demand for fresh vegetables delivered to state institutions, school districts, and county operations, with emphasis on quality, freshness, traceability, and compliance with USDA and food-safety standards. Issuing bodies span Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice), Illinois state agencies (Department of Corrections, Department of Mental Health), county school districts in Georgia (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County), Wisconsin school districts (Madison Metropolitan), Texas municipalities (San Antonio), and smaller institutional operators such as Head Start programs and senior services divisions. The work solicited ranges from individual commodity purchases (carrots, white potatoes, sweet potatoes) to comprehensive fresh-produce supply contracts bundled with frozen items, dairy, and prepared foods.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple produce RFPs in recent months covering fresh fruits and vegetables for food warehouses in Snyder, Wynne (Huntsville), and Palestine, with response dates in October 2026.
