UNSPSC 50425411: Split peas

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

UNSPSC 50425411 Split peas (Commodity) covers dried legume supply to school districts, correctional facilities, and other state and local nutrition programs. State and local governments procure split peas as part of broader dried-bean and staple-food buys for institutional meal service, though split peas appear infrequently in the recent opportunities block—most dried-legume solicitations target pinto beans or red beans instead. The code sits within a broader food-supply ecosystem where school districts, state departments of corrections, and child nutrition programs source proteins and grains together under consolidated grocery and produce contracts.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts and state DOC operations as the primary issuing bodies. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited dried pinto and red beans twice in recent months (March and June 2026), with the June solicitation requesting 42,500 pounds at a historical price of $0.493 per pound and the earlier March bid covering 127,500 pounds. School districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have issued solicitations for fresh produce, grocery staples, and master-grocery contracts spanning hundreds of line items that would include dried peas and beans as component items. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have also procured food staples for nutrition programs. However, no state or local solicitation in the recent-opportunities block explicitly names split peas as a line item or sole procurement focus; dried legumes surface only within aggregated food-supply and grocery-product requests. This signals that split peas are typically purchased as secondary items within larger institutional food contracts rather than standalone solicitations.
