UNSPSC 50425410: Whole yellow peas

Whole peas are husked and about 1/4 of an inch wide and pale yellow in colour. WFP food convention

UNSPSC 50425410 Whole yellow peas is a Commodity code for dried legume products that state and local governments purchase primarily through food service procurement for institutional meal programs. Recent solicitations show whole yellow peas appearing in multi-item food supply contracts serving schools, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs, though the code sees limited standalone demand; most opportunities bundle legumes with broader grocery or protein categories rather than soliciting peas in isolation.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting food products under or near this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), state purchasing offices (Illinois, Georgia), and municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). School districts and state corrections agencies dominate recent activity, with school districts pursuing annual contracts for K-12 meal service and correctional agencies issuing standing orders for inmate foodservice. The most recent solicitations cluster in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five distribution points typifies the scale of institutional procurement; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00016233 (due March 20, 2026) for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans shows direct commodity-level buying. Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026 with estimated annual spend of $9 million) illustrate multi-school district demand. The code shows no recent standalone procurement activity for whole yellow peas; legume purchases appear embedded in broader food-supply contracts where peas compete with beans, lentils, and other starches rather than standing alone as a line-item focus.
