UNSPSC 50415401: Organic purple hull peas

The variety of organic peas known as organic purple hull peas

UNSPSC 50415401 Organic purple hull peas is a Commodity code that nominally names a single legume product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect procurement of organic purple hull peas specifically. Instead, the code appears in school nutrition and institutional food service RFPs and IFBs that request comprehensive fresh produce assortments—fruits, vegetables, eggs, and related items—rather than individual commodity lines. The disconnect between the code's narrow name and the broad scope of solicitations tagged to it suggests misclassification or over-broad code application by issuing bodies, rather than active market demand for organic purple hull peas as a standalone procurement item. The mismatch limits the utility of this code for targeted business development.

School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida dominate recent activity, with Early County Board of Education, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Bulloch County School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System issuing RFPs and IFBs between February and June 2026. The State of Georgia issued two solicitations for general food and fresh produce. Contracts typically span July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with delivery requirements of two to five days per week and firm pricing for the initial contract period, often with renewal options for up to four additional one-year terms. Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, liability insurance of $500,000 to $2 million, and compliance with USDA food safety standards are standard across all opportunities. Many solicitations emphasize local or domestic sourcing preference, natural products free of artificial additives, and whole-grain specifications where applicable. No incumbent vendors are named in any opportunity, and no set-asides for small, minority, or disadvantaged businesses appear in the recent sample, though some districts encourage HUB or local-vendor participation. The estimated annual contract values where disclosed range from approximately $600,000 (Hillsborough County FFVP) to $4.4 million (Douglas County GEC Buying Cooperative Area One), signaling institutional-scale food service procurement with modest but steady vendor churn.
