UNSPSC 50424004: Dried snow peas

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

UNSPSC 50424004 Dried snow peas (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—dried snow peas as a specific legume product—does not align with the opportunities posted under it. Instead, Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026), the State of Oregon requested dried black beans triple-cleaned (RFQ S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections procured approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (RFQ S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026, with a historical reference price of $0.493 per pound). State and local issuing bodies—correctional facilities, state departments, and meal programs—do actively purchase dried legumes for institutional food service and inmate meal preparation, but the postings under this code reflect dried beans of various types rather than snow peas specifically.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Oregon conducting multiple dried-bean solicitations and Georgia Correctional Industries seeking similar products. Illinois and Texas also show food-procurement activity, though the available sources do not specify snow-pea procurement. No recent opportunity in the source materials explicitly solicits dried snow peas; the code assignment appears to represent either a classification error in the underlying database or a mismatch between the commodity name and how issuing bodies are tagging legume purchases. Vendors pursuing this code should investigate whether state and local procurement offices use it for dried snow peas specifically or whether the active buying is occurring under related legume codes.
