UNSPSC 50425402: Dried pinkeye peas

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

UNSPSC 50425402 Dried pinkeye peas is a Commodity code that covers dried legume procurement for institutional food service — primarily correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agencies. State and local governments under this code procure dried beans in bulk for meal preparation, requiring USDA-consistent grading, triple-cleaning specifications, compliance with food-safety standards (FDA, USDA, HACCP), and delivery in volume quantities suitable for institutional kitchens. The issuing bodies are primarily state correctional departments and state purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple state agencies, along with city and county food service programs. The work involves competitive bidding on specifications that fix grade standards, moisture content, foreign-material thresholds, and pallet configuration for warehousing and distribution to multiple institutional sites.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a solicitation for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% Oregon-preference evaluation credit (5% for goods fabricated or processed entirely in Oregon and 5% for in-state headquarters), FOB destination to Salem, Oregon, and a historical price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with deliveries due October 9, 2026, requiring all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight reimbursement and strict bid-specification compliance. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026, for institutional use by state agencies or educational institutions. Illinois and Texas maintain ongoing food supply programs under broader food-procurement solicitations that include dried beans as line items within cafeteria and correctional food service contracts.
