UNSPSC 50405402: Pinkeye peas

The variety of peas known as pinkeye peas

UNSPSC 50405402 Pinkeye peas, a Commodity code, sees active procurement within state and local institutional food service—primarily correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and school districts buying fresh produce and prepared foods for canteens, dining operations, and meal programs. The recent opportunities block shows no specific solicitations for pinkeye peas themselves; instead, the code appears tagged to broader fresh-produce, food-service, and grocery procurements where individual commodity lines (carrots, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, apples, bananas, tomatoes, and other vegetables) dominate recent activity. State and local buyers under related produce codes issue RFQs, RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs repeatedly—the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school nutrition programs in Georgia and Illinois, and county/municipal food service operations represent the typical issuing bodies.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh-produce solicitations (IW267376 for Palestine, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse, and IW253121 for sweet potatoes for canning, all due in June through October 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods and groceries to state supported living centers (HHS0018082 for Lufkin, due October 23, 2026; HHS0017799 and HHS0017798 for Mexia, due August 25, 2026). Georgia school districts—Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, and Early County—have posted produce bids for school nutrition programs (RFPs and sealed bids due May through June 2026). Illinois Department of Corrections (Joliet Treatment Center, RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026) and Illinois Department of Mental Health (Madden Mental Health Center, RFQ 27444DHSMENTHB53608, due August 14, 2026) also appear as active buyers. The code itself likely sits dormant relative to broader vegetable and produce procurement; pinkeye peas as a specific line item are not named in any recent opportunity summary provided. Vendors should track the produce-related codes (fresh vegetables, dried legumes, institutional food service) where actual buying volume concentrates rather than pursuing this Commodity in isolation.
