UNSPSC 50404008: Pigeon chest pea

One of the varieties of pea with the greatest productive distribution, they are differentiated by their yield and pod quality, cultivated in the high Andean areas of the sierra, with tolerance to low rainfall and adaptation to this climate.

UNSPSC 50404008 Pigeon chest pea (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity logged under this code. The opportunities posted over the past five months show no solicitations for pigeon chest peas or comparable legume commodities. Instead, the records reflect active procurement of fresh produce, groceries, and child nutrition products across school districts, state agencies, and early childhood programs in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut.

The misalignment between the code name and actual solicitation scope reflects a broader pattern in the dataset: state and local procurement offices are tagging fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts—including apples, bananas, carrots, strawberries, lettuce, broccoli, potatoes, and other commodity produce—under this code without specificity to pigeon chest peas. Major issuing bodies include school nutrition programs (Northside Independent School District in Texas, Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, multiple Georgia county school systems, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, and Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut), state departments of criminal justice (Texas TDCJ for institutional food service), Head Start programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and city or county senior services divisions (City of San Antonio). Recent representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with response due July 29, 2026; Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for grocery products with 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat estimated at $969,460.94; and multiple Georgia school districts conducting sealed bid solicitations for produce spanning apples, carrots, potatoes, and leafy greens for the 2026-2027 school year. The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, and Douglas County school systems all posted opportunities between February and June 2026), with secondary activity in Texas (Austin ISD, Northside ISD, and TDCJ), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Wisconsin (Madison). No solicitations explicitly named pigeon chest peas or similar legume commodities appear in the dataset; if your firm targets this specific commodity, treat this code as showing little relevant activity and pursue opportunities through direct outreach to institutional food service procurement offices rather than through posted notices tagged to this UNSPSC classification.
