UNSPSC 50407100: Sugar peas

The type of vegetable known as sugar peas

UNSPSC 50407100 Sugar peas is a Class code that names a single produce item, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code show that state and local governments are actually procuring fresh produce broadly — including apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and other vegetables and fruits — rather than sugar peas specifically. The issuing bodies are diverse: state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Mental Health), state departments of corrections (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections), county and city governments (Collier County, City of San Antonio), school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Early County Board of Education), and specialized agencies (Marion Health Care Coalition, Head Start of Greater Dallas). Texas agencies are the most frequent recent buyers, particularly TDCJ and HHSC, each issuing multiple fresh-produce solicitations in the past four months. The work spans institutional food service — supplying correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, mental health centers, school cafeterias, senior centers, and child care programs — with delivery requirements, quality standards, and compliance certifications varying by customer type and regulatory framework.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia. Texas shows the densest recent solicitation activity: HHSC issued at least four opportunities (HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, HHS0017872 for Lufkin, HHS0017799 and HHS0017798 for Mexia State Supported Living Center), TDCJ issued at least six (IW267376 for Palestine, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse, IW253121 for sweet potatoes, IW253099 for white potatoes, and 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas), and Head Start of Greater Dallas issued IFB 26-GP with an estimated value of $969,460.94. Georgia school districts represent the second-largest cluster: Bartow County Schools (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education (bid 016-SNS-2027, due June 16, 2026), Bryan County Schools (produce bid, due May 27, 2026), and Early County Board of Education (FY27 Food Bid, due June 8, 2026). Illinois facilities issued two opportunities: Illinois Department of Corrections (27426DOCJOLIEB53849 for Joliet Treatment Center, due September 3, 2026, small business set-aside) and Illinois Department of Mental Health (27444DHSMENTHB53608 for Madden Mental Health Center, due August 14, 2026). Other jurisdictions include Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, with a $0.20 per pound preference for organic produce and Wisconsin-source mandate within 400 miles), Collier County, Florida (ITN 258360 for North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025), and the City of San Antonio (RFP 26-070 for senior-center produce markets, due May 27, 2026).
