UNSPSC 50413900: Organic green peas

The type of organic vegetable known as organic green peas

UNSPSC 50413900 Organic green peas is a Class code that covers fresh produce procurement by state and local food service operations, including school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalition networks, and state purchasing offices. Recent solicitations show demand for fresh vegetables and fruits as line items within broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. State and local buyers under this code typically procure produce as part of comprehensive meal-service programs, requiring compliance with food-safety regulations, USDA nutrition standards, and domestic-sourcing preferences where applicable. Issuing bodies span school districts operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, county parks departments managing concession food services, healthcare networks providing patient meals, and state-level food-procurement offices supporting institutional feeding operations.

Geographic activity includes Georgia, Florida, and broader multistate procurement through state purchasing channels. Recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB on June 8, 2026 for line-by-line food bids covering 300+ items including vegetables and fruits with domestic-sourcing and whole-grain preferences; Marion Health Care Coalition issuing a proposal request due August 21, 2026 for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery; the State of Georgia issuing a bid on June 22, 2026 for food supplies including produce; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issuing an Invitation to Negotiate on March 6, 2025 for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park requiring diverse food and beverage options. School districts emphasize compliance with USDA 2024 Final Rule standards, low-sodium formulations, products without added sugars, and rotation protocols; a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points applies in some jurisdictions. Pricing typically remains firm for 15 days post-award, with escalation requests reviewed against USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks.
