UNSPSC 50417102: Organic cavalier peas

The variety of organic sugar peas known as organic cavalier peas

UNSPSC 50417102 Organic cavalier peas is a Commodity code that names a specific produce item, but state and local governments do not procure organic cavalier peas as a standalone line item. Instead, school districts, county boards of education, and state agencies across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida are actively soliciting fresh produce under broader categories that bundle dozens of fruits and vegetables into annual food-service contracts. The work being bought is the sourcing, warehousing, and weekly or bi-weekly delivery of fresh produce to school kitchens, central distribution points, and occasionally direct to school sites in compliance with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable standards, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, and food safety traceability requirements. Representative recent solicitations include the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing a line-by-line bid in May 2026 for 300+ food items including meats, dairy, vegetables, and fruits for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs with delivery by June 8, 2026; Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) seeking sealed bids in April 2026 for fresh produce under RFP 2026-048 with a deadline of May 7, 2026 and contract performance from July 2026 through June 2027; and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) issuing an RFP in April 2026 for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with an estimated annual budget of $600,000 and a proposal deadline of March 11, 2026. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (accounting for the majority of recent postings), state departments of education and nutrition services, and county boards of education.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with additional solicitations from Florida, Missouri, and other states. Georgia shows the heaviest recent activity, with solicitations from Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County Schools, and a state-level Georgia IFB for fresh produce posted in April 2026 with a May 27, 2026 deadline. Texas activity includes Northside ISD (San Antonio), McAllen ISD, and Austin ISD, all posting in February through April 2026. School districts typically require vendors to deliver fresh produce weekly or bi-weekly between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., maintain cost-plus or fixed-fee pricing structures with prospective price redetermination allowed after 12 months (often tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service market reports), hold HACCP certification and $1 million to $2 million general liability insurance, comply with domestic sourcing and Buy American requirements, and allow piggyback purchasing by other districts. Contract terms run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options typically spanning two to four additional one-year terms. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged or minority-owned enterprises appear in the available procurement documents, and most solicitations are open to any qualified vendor meeting experience, insurance, and compliance thresholds.
