UNSPSC 50407103: Daisy peas

The variety of sugar peas known as daisy peas

UNSPSC 50407103 Daisy peas is a Commodity code covering the supply of dried legumes and fresh or processed pea products to state and local institutions. Recent solicitations under this code track instead to fresh produce procurement more broadly—fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and complete grocery items for school nutrition programs, senior services, child care centers, and institutional food service operations. The actual buying is dominated by school districts and state agencies acquiring fresh produce for meal programs, typically through IFB or RFP processes, with qualification emphasis on HACCP certification, traceability documentation, Buy American compliance, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), and weekly delivery to multiple sites with firm pricing over 12-month contract terms often featuring price-adjustment clauses tied to USDA market reports or CPI indices.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut represent the primary issuing bodies, with standout repeat buyers including the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, various Texas school districts (Austin, McAllen, Northside San Antonio, Hillsborough County), Bulloch County, Muscogee County, Dougherty County, and Bryan County Schools, as well as the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Recent representative opportunities include the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for 72 fresh produce items due April 23, 2026 (IFB Bid 26-34); Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce deliveries to 97 campuses with proposals due May 7, 2026; Bulloch County Schools' RFP for local produce grown within 200 miles with bids due May 4, 2026; Bryan County Schools' sealed bid for fresh produce with a May 27, 2026 deadline; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively for two areas. Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurements for carrots, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes for canning (IFBs IW253079, IW253099, IW253121) posted in June 2026 show institutional food service demand outside schools. The code shows robust activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas through spring and summer 2026, with emerging activity in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, and multistate cooperative purchasing vehicles. Competition emphasizes cost (30–50% evaluation weight), geographic or local sourcing preferences, product quality and freshness standards, vendor experience, insurance and compliance documentation, and ability to maintain consistent weekly or twice-weekly deliveries across dispersed school sites.
