UNSPSC 50407102: Cavalier peas

The variety of sugar peas known as cavalier peas

UNSPSC 50407102 Cavalier peas (Commodity) encompasses fresh and frozen pea products supplied to state and local institutions including correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school districts, and mental health facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing cavalier peas and comparable legume products as components of bulk food service procurement — typically as line items within larger food-service grocery bids for institutional canteens, dining facilities, and kitchens rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections), county school systems (Bartow County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, Early County Schools), and independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District), with some activity from municipal senior services divisions and regional food coalitions serving Head Start and child nutrition programs.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Illinois and Wisconsin. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017799 for fiscal year 2027 food service groceries to Mexia State Supported Living Center (bids due August 25, 2026), which specified frozen vegetables and prepared food items across multiple commodity codes including peas as line items; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IW267420 and IW267411 for fresh fruit and vegetables to Snyder and Wynne Food Warehouses (responses due October 14, 2026), which procurement across multiple facilities; and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 school year (proposals due June 22, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.), which emphasized 400-mile sourcing and seasonal availability. The code shows no standalone solicitations for cavalier peas specifically; vendors pursuing this commodity operate within larger food-service contracts and cooperative purchasing arrangements where peas are one of numerous produce or frozen-goods line items.
