UNSPSC 50415402: Organic pinkeye peas

The variety of organic peas known as organic pinkeye peas

UNSPSC 50415402 Organic pinkeye peas is a Commodity code, and state and local purchasing activity under it consists almost entirely of fresh-produce procurement for school nutrition programs, not specialty legumes. The solicitations present here span school districts, county boards of education, and state agencies across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, with the vast majority focusing on fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program fulfillment. Work solicited under this code includes weekly or twice-weekly delivery of produce to elementary through high schools, compliance with USDA Buy American and food-safety standards including HACCP certification and traceability systems, and firm-price contracts running July 1 through June 30 with renewal options. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education (Georgia) seeking line-by-line food bids with response due June 8, 2026 (RFP); Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) requesting sealed bids for fresh produce delivery to all campuses with response due May 7, 2026 (RFP 2026-048); Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) soliciting cost-plus fixed-fee proposals for specialty fruits and vegetables to support a federally funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with response due March 11, 2026 and estimated annual budget of $600,000 (RFP 26039RFPDST); and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) requesting electronic bids on over 900 grocery and produce line items with response due April 29, 2026 (ITB CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027).

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia—with solicitations posted by Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County Schools, and the State of Georgia itself—alongside meaningful activity in Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Northside ISD) and Florida (Hillsborough County). No solicitation explicitly names organic pinkeye peas as a line item; the code appears to be a catch-all taxonomy designation applied to broader produce-procurement RFPs and IFBs. Set-asides and preference programs vary: some districts emphasize domestic sourcing, local-grown preferences (Bulloch County requires produce within 200 miles), or encouragement of small and minority-owned vendors; others contain no stated restrictions. Pricing is typically firm for the contract year, with midterm adjustments permitted only upon documented cost increases (commonly 3–5% thresholds) supported by USDA Market News or CPI data. Insurance requirements, E-Verify compliance, debarment certifications, and HACCP documentation are standard across nearly all opportunities. Payment terms range from Net 30 to Net 90 days. No solicitations disclose incumbent vendors or specific award values; contracts are awarded on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible or line-item basis. This code sees steady activity but reflects institutional food-service purchasing rather than specialty agricultural commodity trading; firms should verify that organic legumes align with their target district's actual menu requirements before pursuing.
