UNSPSC 50424005: Dried sugar snap peas

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

UNSPSC 50424005 Dried sugar snap peas is a Commodity code that captures state and local government purchases of dried legume products for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care operations. Recent solicitations show procurement officers buying dried peas and beans as ingredient-level commodities within larger food supply contracts rather than as standalone specialty snacks; the code sees activity alongside broader dried-bean procurements where state corrections departments and school districts source triple-cleaned legumes meeting USDA grade standards for high-volume meal production. The issuing-body mix spans state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), large urban and suburban school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), child care food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas via CACFP), and statewide procurement offices acting on behalf of corrections systems (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for TDCJ). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity.

Geographic spread concentrates in the Southeast and South—Georgia (multiple school districts), Texas (Edinburg CACFP, TDCJ via Comptroller), Missouri (Rockwood), and Virginia (Fairfax County)—with activity also in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections) and Midwest (Illinois statewide procurement). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026 (ITB S-29100-00016233, with a prior award at $0.43 per pound from August 2025), another ODOC solicitation for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 with a historical price of $0.493 per pound (ITB S2910000017140), the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across TDCJ warehouses (bid extended to May 4, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) spanning 52 school buildings and requiring minimum bid of 76 items. Pricing remains firm for full contract terms, and delivery is consistently F.O.B. destination with weekly or more-frequent drop schedules to avoid spoilage.
