UNSPSC 50417103: Organic daisy peas

The variety of organic sugar peas known as organic daisy peas

UNSPSC 50417103 Organic daisy peas is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code buy fresh produce for child nutrition and institutional food service programs, though the recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct procurement of organic daisy peas specifically. Instead, the code's activity reflects broader fresh-produce contracting by school districts, counties, and state agencies for meal programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (elementary through high school) and county school systems, with occasional state-level participation. Recent opportunities reveal that school nutrition programs are sourcing comprehensive fresh-produce portfolios—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and specialty items—rather than single-commodity line items. Vendors must meet USDA food safety standards including HACCP certification, maintain general liability insurance ($1 million minimum in most cases), comply with Buy American provisions favoring domestic commodities, and deliver Monday through Friday within tight daily windows (typically 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM). Contract terms span July 1 through June 30 fiscal years with renewal options extending two to four additional one-year periods. Price firm requirements are standard, though many solicitations allow cost adjustments after 12 months when supported by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index documentation.

The code shows concentrated recent activity in Georgia and Texas school districts. Georgia issues including Early County Schools (RFP due June 8, 2026), Bulloch County Schools (RFP due May 4, 2026, emphasizing local produce within 200 miles), Liberty County Schools (IFB due April 29, 2026), Glynn County Schools (IFB due April 14, 2026), and Muscogee County Schools (ITB due April 27, 2026) dominate the recent pipeline. Texas districts posting include Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048 due May 7, 2026, covering 47 campuses), McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029 extended deadline March 6, 2026, serving 20,000 students), and Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034 due March 11, 2026). Additional activity spans Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida (RFP due March 11, 2026, for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty fruits and vegetables), Rockwood School District in Missouri (ITB due April 29, 2026, encompassing 900+ line items), and a state-level Georgia fresh-produce IFB (#4 2027-2026, due May 27, 2026). The volume and timing suggest robust school-year procurement cycles driving demand for produce vendors with institutional scale, reliable cold-chain logistics, and compliance infrastructure.
