UNSPSC 50424003: Dried garden peas

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

UNSPSC 50424003 Dried garden peas (Commodity) covers bulk dried legumes procured by state and local agencies for institutional food service, correctional facilities, school meal programs, and child care operations. State and local governments buy dried beans, peas, and related legumes under this code — typically in large quantities specified by USDA grade standards, moisture limits, and foreign-material thresholds for use in bulk institutional cooking and meal preparation. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state departments of corrections, state purchasing divisions, city and regional food-service programs supporting child and adult care, and Texas statewide procurement on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (procuring for TDCJ) appear as repeat solicitors in recent activity.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an RFQ for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods and 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders), FOB destination to Salem, Oregon, within 45 days of purchase order, requiring triple-cleaned beans meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade with a one-year minimum shelf life remaining; the historical price from incumbent Intersect USA was $0.493 per pound in August 2025. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing. The State of Oregon solicited bids for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026, for institutional use. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of TDCJ, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products including dried beans and legumes across five geographic Texas warehouse locations, extended to May 4, 2026, with FOB destination terms to six TDCJ distribution points and a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee applied to all purchases. The City of Edinburg, Texas, requested proposals for a CACFP meal program including food products to serve approximately 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 for vendors within the city whose bids fall within 5% of the lowest bid price.
