UNSPSC 50425405: Dried blackeyed peas

The variety of peas known as blackeyed peas that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425405 Dried blackeyed peas, a Commodity code, covers bulk legumes sourced for institutional food service—specifically dried beans, including black-eyed peas, kidney beans, pinto beans, and red beans in food-service quantity. State and local buyers under this code include correctional-system procurement offices, state departments of corrections, state food-purchasing agencies, municipal child nutrition programs, and institutional cafeteria operators. The work solicited is straightforward procurement of food items meeting USDA grading standards and food-safety compliance (FDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice) for bulk institutional cooking and meal preparation. Suppliers deliver palletized product to state warehouses and distribution centers, typically FOB destination with all shipping and handling costs included in quoted pricing. Specification sheets establish triple-cleaning requirements, moisture-content limits, foreign-material thresholds, and defect tolerances; bidders must price deliveries in specific increments (often 880-bag or 42,500-pound lots) without use of vague compliance language such as "comply" or "yes."
