UNSPSC 50415400: Organic peas

The type of organic vegetable known as organic peas

UNSPSC 50415400 Organic peas is a Class code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code involve fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, but they do not isolate organic peas as a line item or treat peas as a distinct commodity; instead, they solicit comprehensive fresh produce catalogs spanning dozens of fruits, vegetables, eggs, and related items for institutional food service. The State of Georgia, school districts across Georgia, Texas, Utah, Missouri, and Florida are the primary issuing bodies, conducting IFBs, RFPs, and ITBs for multi-item produce supply contracts that serve student meal programs, the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and general school nutrition operations. The solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, domestic sourcing preferences, low-sodium and whole-grain formulations, and local or regional produce when cost and quality align.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia—reflected in six recent solicitations from state procurement, individual school districts (Early County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Glynn County), and the Douglas County School System coordinating a 30-district cooperative buy—with secondary activity in Texas (Northside Independent School District in Bexar County and McAllen Independent School District), Utah (Salt Lake City School District), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Representative solicitations include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies; Northside Independent School District's RFP for fresh produce (due May 7, 2026) serving 83 elementary, 21 middle, and 13 high schools across San Antonio; and the Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million. The code does not surface as a distinct procurement vehicle—organic peas appear, if at all, as a single line within much larger produce catalogs rather than as the object of a standalone solicitation.
