The variety of sugar peas known as feltham first peas

UNSPSC 50407106 Feltham first peas is a Commodity code that represents fresh vegetable products sourced for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and child care settings. State and local governments buying under this code procure fresh produce — primarily peas and other vegetables — for direct distribution to students, seniors, and program participants, with emphasis on local sourcing, USDA compliance, and food safety certification. The issuing-body mix spans school districts (elementary through high school), state agencies (criminal justice and education departments), county boards of education, city departments of human services, independent school districts, and Head Start organizations. School nutrition programs represent the dominant buyer segment, with Georgia, Texas, and Florida showing the most recent procurement activity. Contracts are commonly structured as annual or multi-year agreements with line-item pricing, weekly delivery schedules, and strict quality and traceability requirements tied to USDA Commodity Nutrition or Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program standards.
