UNSPSC 50425411 Split peas (Commodity) covers dried legume procurement for institutional food service — though recent state and local activity shows the code applied across a broader range of beans and dried legumes than the nominal category name suggests. State and local governments buy dried peas and beans for correctional facilities, school and child-care meal programs, and other institutional kitchens in bulk quantities suitable for mass preparation. The issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state purchasing offices acting on behalf of criminal justice and higher-education institutions, city municipalities managing child and adult care food programs, and state education or social-service agencies. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat institutional buyers; cities like Edinburg, Texas, procure under the code for municipal meal programs serving children and families.
