UNSPSC 50426901: Dried bikini peas

The variety of sugar peas known as bikini peas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426901 Dried bikini peas (Commodity) covers dried legumes for institutional food service and correctional facilities, though recent state and local solicitations show procurement activity clustering around related dried beans—pinto, red, black, and kidney varieties—rather than bikini peas specifically. State and local buyers under this code include correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), state food-procurement offices (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), and municipal meal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas operating a Child and Adult Care Food Program). Solicitations name bulk institutional uses: cafeteria supply, correctional inmate meal service, and child nutrition programs. Specifications consistently require triple-cleaned product meeting USDA Grade A or B standards, moisture-content limits, and compliance with FDA, HACCP, and current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements. Deliveries are FOB destination to institutional distribution centers or meal-service locations, with all-inclusive pricing absorbing freight, fuel surcharges, and handling fees. Bidders submit responses electronically in PDF format, and strict specification compliance is enforced—Georgia's kidney-bean RFQ explicitly prohibits shortcuts such as "comply," checkmarks, or ditto marks, with noncompliant bids rejected outright.

The code sees recent activity in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections sought approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders); the incumbent historical price was $0.493 per pound as of August 2025. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans with deliveries in 880-bag increments and bids due October 9, 2026. The State of Oregon posted a separate solicitation for dried black beans (triple-cleaned) due August 21, 2026, for institutional use. The City of Edinburg, Texas, ran an RFP for CACFP meal program supplies serving 400 children daily, including dried legumes as part of a five-category food bundle (beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, nonfood items) with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and evaluation criteria weighting cost at 30%, qualifications at 25%, technical approach at 25%, and nutritional value at 20%. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB (304T-26-300CF) for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including dried legumes and other staples, with response due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum), single-vendor awards per line item, and an initial contract term through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals.
