UNSPSC 50407023: Dau mue or pea tips

The type of vegetable known as dau mue or pea tips

UNSPSC 50407023 Dau mue or pea tips (Commodity) does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show no solicitation for dau mue or pea tips; instead, they cover broad fresh produce, groceries, and food service supplies for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and correctional institutions across multiple states. The code's nominal scope appears disconnected from the work being bought.

State and local governments are actively procuring fresh fruits and vegetables for institutional food service through school districts, county boards of education, child nutrition programs, and state agencies. The mix of issuing bodies spans school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Hillsborough County Schools in Tampa, Savannah-Chatham County Schools in Georgia, Austin ISD), county school systems (Muscogee, Bryan, Liberty, Glynn, Bulloch, Douglas, Henry, Early, Dougherty County in Georgia; Bartow County in Georgia), state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Head Start programs, and city senior services divisions. Recent opportunities show heavy concentration in Georgia school districts and Texas agencies, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, and other states. Representative procurements include Northside ISD's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 117 campuses across San Antonio (due May 7, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' FFVP contract for specialty fruits and vegetables to 18 elementary schools (due March 11, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple IFBs for bulk white potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots for institutional food service (due June 23, 2026 and prior dates), and a multi-district Georgia cooperative procurement through Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 covering 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). Evaluation typically weighs cost (30–50 percent), product quality and availability (15–30 percent), delivery capability and service (10–25 percent), and vendor qualifications or compliance (10–20 percent). Because the UNSPSC commodity code nomenclature does not reflect the actual purchasing activity—the opportunities focus on mainstream fresh produce, not specialty Asian vegetables—the code shows minimal relevance for vendors in the dau mue or pea tips supply chain.
