UNSPSC 50425402: Dried pinkeye peas

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

UNSPSC 50425402 Dried pinkeye peas, a Commodity code, covers legume products that state and local governments procure primarily through child nutrition and institutional food service contracts, though recent opportunities reveal limited activity specifically tagged to this code. The most concrete recent solicitation explicitly naming dried pinkeye peas is absent from the recent-opportunities block; instead, the records show the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) and Illinois issuing bids for dried pinto and red beans, and multiple school districts and food-service agencies sourcing broad grocery and produce categories where dried legumes appear as line items within larger food-supply contracts. State and local issuing bodies under this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District), correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal child-care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas; The Boys & Girls Club). The code shows only occasional stand-alone solicitation and is typically bundled within broader cafeteria food, grocery, or nutritional-supply contracts where specific dried-legume items are line items alongside proteins, vegetables, grains, and condiments.

Geographic activity spans Texas (Edinburg CACFP program, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois, Georgia (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County school systems), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Missouri (Rockwood School District). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried beans within the recent window—one on March 6, 2026 (127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026) and another on June 5, 2026 (42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026)—suggesting institutional procurement of legumes as a stable, recurring line item in correctional-facility food service. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice TDCJ cafeteria food procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) and the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) confirm standing demand in the child-nutrition and criminal-justice spaces, though neither names dried pinkeye peas explicitly in available summaries. Activity is concentrated in the South, Pacific Northwest, and mid-Atlantic; no recent opportunities specifically isolate dried pinkeye peas as a single-line-item procurement.
