UNSPSC 50424001: Dried china peas

The variety of green peas known as china peas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424001 Dried china peas (Commodity) covers dried legumes and bean products procured by state and local institutional buyers — correctional facilities, school districts, child care programs, and other government food-service operations. The actual purchasing under this code emphasizes institutional bulk procurement of dried beans, peas, and legumes in triple-cleaned, USDA-graded form suitable for large-scale meal preparation. State and local buyers purchasing under the code include departments of corrections, state agencies managing food supply chains, school districts operating child and adult care food programs (CACFP), and city governments supporting municipal food services. Issuing bodies typically post through state procurement registries and electronic bid portals; correctional agencies and state purchasing divisions are the primary repeat buyers in recent activity.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The State of Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB in June 2026 (S2910000017140) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade required, palletized delivery to Salem within 45 days, and a 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or headquartered in Oregon; the historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound.
