UNSPSC 50415406: Organic zipper cream peas

The variety of organic peas known as organic zipper cream peas

UNSPSC 50415406 Organic zipper cream peas is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh produce—specifically peas and other fresh vegetables—for school nutrition, institutional food service, and child nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida competing for vendors to supply fresh produce in high volume, with evaluation criteria emphasizing price, product quality, delivery reliability, HACCP compliance, and Buy American preferences. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education running child nutrition programs funded by USDA reimbursement; a few state agency food service operations also procure under similar specifications. The work involves weekly or twice-weekly delivery of fresh vegetables and fruits to multiple school sites, maintenance of temperature-controlled distribution, traceability documentation, food safety certifications, and often locally or domestic-sourced product preferences.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, and the State of Georgia itself), with significant recent procurements also in Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). The Douglas County School System RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs spans 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined ($4.4 million Area One, $1.1 million Area Two), with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Northside Independent School District issued RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 127 campuses across the San Antonio area, with proposals due May 7, 2026 and evaluation weighted 35 percent price, 25 percent extent of goods meeting needs, 15 percent quality, 10 percent long-term cost, 10 percent other factors, and 5 percent reputation. Early County Board of Education in Georgia solicited line-by-line food bids (including fresh produce) for three schools supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026 and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with options to extend. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa issued RFP 26039RFQDST for fresh fruit and vegetable delivery under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program to 18 elementary schools, with proposals due March 11, 2026, an estimated annual budget of $600,000 funded entirely by USDA grant, and a cost-plus fixed-fee-per-case structure. All contracts emphasize firm pricing for the contract term, domestic sourcing compliance, HACCP plans with recall procedures, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000), and weekly or twice-weekly delivery between 6:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
