UNSPSC 50426900: Dried sugar peas

The type of vegetable known as sugar peas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426900 Dried sugar peas is a Class code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The code represents a narrow commodity—dehydrated legumes for institutional food service—but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little demand for dried sugar peas specifically. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader institutional food procurement spanning dried beans, fresh produce, grocery staples, and full meal-service supply chains for child nutrition, corrections, and school food programs. The actual buying activity under this code tier encompasses commodity food items purchased through school nutrition programs, state corrections departments, and child care facilities, typically as line items within larger food-supply contracts rather than standalone acquisitions.

Recent opportunities show mixed issuing bodies: school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Muscogee County School District, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Douglas County School System, Georgia) dominate, with secondary activity from state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), state health or human services departments (Illinois), and municipal child care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The geographic footprint spans Texas, Missouri, Georgia, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Georgia and Texas showing the heaviest recent concentration. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans at $0.43 per pound historical pricing (due March 20, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas with 382 line items (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum); Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026); and Rockwood R-VI School District's March 2026 electronic bid solicitation for over 900 grocery items supporting 6,900 daily lunch participants (due April 29, 2026). Evaluation typically emphasizes lowest responsive bid, compliance with federal food-safety standards (USDA, FDA, HACCP), delivery logistics, and product quality. The code shows steady but fragmented demand across multiple jurisdictions rather than concentrated high-volume procurement from a single buyer class.
