UNSPSC 50407106: Feltham first peas

The variety of sugar peas known as feltham first peas

UNSPSC 50407106 Feltham first peas is a Commodity code representing fresh and frozen peas procured by state and local jurisdictions for institutional food service operations. State and local governments buy peas under this code as components of broader produce procurement for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent opportunities show peas sourced as part of fresh-produce contracts serving multiple institutional locations, with vendors expected to deliver produce meeting USDA quality standards and food-safety regulations. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county and city school districts, senior services divisions, and special-purpose institutions such as state-supported living centers. Texas agencies—particularly the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission—dominate recent solicitation activity. Vendors typically compete on unit pricing, delivery compliance, product freshness guarantees, insurance coverage ($500,000 to $1 million commercial general liability), and references demonstrating capacity on similar contracts.

State and local procurement activity for peas concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with significant institutional volume from correctional food warehouses, residential care facilities, and school nutrition programs. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice fresh-fruit-and-vegetable solicitations (IFB IW267376 for Palestine facility and IFB IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, both due October 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections fresh-produce bid for Joliet Treatment Center (IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026, with a small-business set-aside); the Dougherty County Board of Education fresh-produce sealed bid for 24 school nutrition sites (sealed bid due June 16, 2026, covering 40 produce line items including fresh vegetables); and the Bartow County School System local fresh-fruit-and-vegetable RFP 10-2026-019 (due June 22, 2026, requiring produce sourced within 400 miles). School districts across Georgia and Texas drive recurring demand, often with geographic-preference or local-sourcing requirements and weighted evaluation criteria favoring cost (30–40 points), product quality and availability (15–25 points), and delivery and compliance (15–20 points). Contracts typically run one fiscal or school year with optional renewal terms, F.O.B. Destination pricing with prepaid freight, and delivery windows specified by facility operational hours.
