UNSPSC 50413906: Organic sugar snap peas

The variety of organic green peas known as organic sugar snap peas

UNSPSC 50413906 Organic sugar snap peas is a Commodity code. State and local school districts and county boards of education dominate procurement activity under this code, buying fresh produce as part of child nutrition programming and meal service operations. The recent solicitation record shows little activity specific to organic sugar snap peas; instead, districts are buying across broad fresh produce families—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, eggs, and dozens of other items—within single comprehensive annual contracts. School nutrition directors use commodity codes at this granular level for internal tracking and supplier compliance, but the actual buying vehicle consolidates multiple produce lines into one RFP, RFQ, or IFB. The scope of work includes weekly or twice-weekly delivery to school campuses between 6:00 AM and 2:30 PM, compliance with USDA food safety standards (HACCP plans, traceability, recall procedures), Buy American provisions favoring domestic sourcing, and adherence to whole-grain and low-sodium product preferences where applicable. Vendors must carry $1 million to $2 million general liability insurance, maintain current business licenses and health department clearances, and pass debarment and E-Verify verification. Pricing structures vary—some districts use cost-plus models with monthly USDA index adjustments; others require firm fixed pricing for twelve months with redetermination provisions tied to documented market data. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options for up to three or four additional one-year periods.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri account for the largest recent volume of fresh produce procurement activity. The Georgia State Department and individual school systems (Douglas County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, and Early County) posted thirteen recent produce or mixed-food solicitations between February and June 2026. Texas school systems (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Austin Independent School District, and McAllen Independent School District) issued multiple RFPs during the same window, and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida posted a USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program contract in April 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri solicited grocery and produce items in March 2026. Geographic diversity is notable—states range from the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) to Texas and Missouri. The most recent posted opportunity was the State of Georgia's May 15, 2026 IFB (PE55645NONST2026000000009) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response deadline; immediately prior was Early County Board of Education's May 11, 2026 RFQ (PE55045NONST2027000000006) covering 300+ food items with a June 8, 2026 deadline. For a vendor pursuing organic sugar snap peas specifically, the lack of line-item demand in recent bid documents suggests limited current adoption; most districts list standard vegetables (snap peas appear occasionally in general vegetable categories) without organic designation. Vendors competing for this code should monitor school district child nutrition RFPs and consolidate their positioning across the broader fresh produce family rather than assume isolated demand for a single organic item.
