UNSPSC 50413903: Organic garden peas

The variety of organic green peas known as organic garden peas

UNSPSC 50413903 Organic garden peas is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure organic garden peas as a standalone line item; the code appears in school district child nutrition and state agency food service solicitations only when embedded in larger produce categories. Recent activity shows districts bundling peas with dozens of other fresh fruits and vegetables under broad produce contracts rather than isolating organic peas as a distinct commodity. The actual buying pattern reflects institutional food service procurement where produce selection is driven by menu planning, USDA reimbursement compliance, supplier capability, and cost competitiveness across entire product families rather than by specific organic certifications at the commodity level.

Issuing bodies include school districts (elementary through high school), state departments of education and general services, county boards of education, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts. Georgia school districts dominate recent activity, with repeat buyers including Early County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, and Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative. Texas school districts appear in the record as well, including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri). Florida Hillsborough County Public Schools and Georgia state agencies round out the mix. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary representation from Missouri and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education RFP for line-by-line food bids with response due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables; Muscogee County School District ITB 26-017 for fresh produce with bid due April 27, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. EST; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with proposals due March 4, 2026. Commodity-level specifications do not appear in the available records — peas appear only as line items within produce schedules, typically grouped with other vegetables and priced per case or pound as part of weekly or monthly delivery cycles.
