UNSPSC 50405505: Valencia peanuts

The variety of peanuts known as valencia peanuts

UNSPSC 50405505 Valencia peanuts, a Commodity-tier code, does not see material recent state and local procurement activity. The source includes one opportunity nominally tagged to produce procurement (a Georgia fresh produce solicitation from June 2026) but provides insufficient detail to confirm scope. The remaining recent opportunities in the dataset span fresh fruits and vegetables broadly, white and sweet potatoes, carrots, eggs, and processed grocery items—product families adjacent to but distinct from Valencia peanuts specifically. School districts, county boards of education, state departments of criminal justice, and independent school districts dominate the issuing-body mix across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut, with the majority of activity concentrated in school nutrition programs funded by USDA Child Nutrition and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grants. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) seeking fresh specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (RFP 26-039, proposals due March 11, 2026), Douglas County School System (Georgia) procuring fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across two regions through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, proposals due March 4, 2026), and Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) requesting fresh produce for child nutrition across all district campuses (RFP 2026-048, proposals due May 7, 2026). These opportunities emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American standards, HACCP certification, and weekly multi-site delivery schedules typical of institutional food service procurement, but none specifically target peanut products or legume-based ingredients.

Activity clusters heavily in Georgia and Texas school nutrition procurement, with secondary volume in Florida and broader representation across Missouri, Connecticut, and other states. The code shows no recent Valencia-peanut-specific solicitations; the available records reflect institutional food service buyers seeking commodity fresh produce, proteins, and staple groceries rather than specialty legumes or processed peanut products. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether issuing bodies are sourcing peanuts or peanut-based products through separate snack-food or commodity procurement channels, or whether the code itself carries limited practical activity in state and local markets currently.
