UNSPSC 50425408: Split green peas

Split green peas are an agricultural or culinary preparation consisting of the dried, peeled and split seeds of Pisum sativum, the pea. WFP food convention.

UNSPSC 50425408 Split green peas, a Commodity code, sees state and local governments procuring dried legume staples—primarily split green peas but also kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans—for institutional food service and correctional-facility meal programs. The work spans bulk commodity purchasing for correctional industries, state child and adult care food programs (CACFP), prison cafeteria operations, and state institutional use across multiple agencies and educational institutions. Issuing bodies include state correctional and procurement departments (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas), municipal governments and school districts running meal programs (City of Edinburg), and state institutional purchasing offices. The solicitations emphasize compliance with USDA grading standards, food-safety regulations (FDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), and delivery logistics; beans are typically triple-cleaned, meet U.S. No. 2 or better grade, and suppliers must provide product certifications and nutritional data.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with active procurement from the State of Georgia (Georgia Correctional Industries, Georgia's central food and supplies program), the State of Oregon (ODOC and educational institutions), the State of Texas (TDCJ cafeteria food products via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division), the State of Illinois (institutional food orders), and the City of Edinburg. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 RFQ for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) with 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers, FOB destination to Salem with palletized delivery in 45 days; the Texas Comptroller's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products across TDCJ distribution points (extended response due May 4, 2026) spanning 382 line items including dried beans and other staples with single-vendor awards per line item; the Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ for kidney beans (due October 9, 2026) requiring 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing; and the City of Edinburg's August 2026 RFP for CACFP meal-program food and nonfood supplies serving 400 children daily with local-vendor preference under Texas law.
