UNSPSC 50405506: Virginia peanuts

The variety of peanuts known as virginia peanuts

UNSPSC 50405506 Virginia peanuts is a Commodity code describing specific agricultural produce items purchased by state and local governments, though the recent opportunities on file show no direct solicitations for Virginia peanuts specifically. Instead, the code's recent activity reflects broader fresh produce procurement across institutional food service — the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections and Mental Health, Georgia school districts, and other state entities are actively soliciting fresh vegetables, fruits, and processed foods for cafeteria and canteen operations at correctional facilities, mental health centers, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. These solicitations span prepared and frozen produce items, fresh fruits and vegetables for weekly or bi-weekly delivery, produce meeting USDA quality grades, and bulk commodity items like white potatoes, carrots, and sweet potatoes destined for institutional food warehouses and on-site kitchen operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of criminal justice and corrections, state health and human services agencies, state mental health and education departments, county school nutrition programs, and municipal agencies operating senior services and parks food concessions. Texas agencies—particularly TDCJ and HHSC—are repeat solicitors of fresh produce and food service items across multiple warehouses and facilities.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, and Arizona. Recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables for food warehouses at Snyder and Wynne (due October 14, 2026, RFP/RFQ format not specified); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting canteen and food service groceries for Lufkin and Mexia State Supported Living Centers (IFB HHS0018082 and HHS0017798, due August 25, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center bi-weekly delivery under small-business set-aside (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026); Bartow County School System in Georgia seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026); Bryan County Schools in Georgia bidding fresh produce for school year 2026-2027 (sealed bid PE55308NONST2027000000012, due May 27, 2026); and Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin requesting fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for elementary students under the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, with local-vendor preference worth 5 percent and organic discount of $0.20 per pound applied in evaluation). Institutional food service procurement under this code typically requires F.O.B. Destination pricing with vendor-borne transportation, compliance with USDA quality and grading standards, food safety certifications including HACCP plans, commercial liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million minimum per occurrence), and adherence to prevailing-wage and E-Verify requirements where applicable.
