UNSPSC 50424002: Dried english peas

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

UNSPSC 50424002 Dried English Peas (Commodity) covers dried legume products — primarily dried beans of various cultivars — procured by state correctional departments, food-service agencies serving institutional populations, and state purchasing offices for bulk institutional consumption. State and local governments actually buy these through RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs for cafeteria meal programs, correctional-facility feeding operations, and child and adult care food programs. The work involves sourcing USDA-graded dried legumes in bulk quantities, often triple-cleaned to institutional specifications, with FOB destination delivery and palletized handling to central distribution points. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices acting on behalf of correctional industries or institutional feeding programs, and municipal governments operating child-care meal programs. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the State of Illinois have all solicited under this code recently.

Activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest and the Southeast. The Oregon Department of Corrections requested approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers and historical pricing near $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) requiring all-inclusive delivery pricing with no separate freight reimbursement; and the State of Oregon solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned, to institutional USDA standards (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, procurement for a Child and Adult Care Food Program (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) included dried legumes as part of a five-category food bundle serving 400 children daily, with Texas local-vendor preference applying to bids within 5% of the lowest price. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria-food procurement (304T-26-300CF, originally due April 21, extended to May 4, 2026) spanned 382 line items including beans and other staples for multi-warehouse distribution across five Texas geographic areas with single-vendor award per line item.
