UNSPSC 50426902: Dried cavalier peas

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

UNSPSC 50426902 Dried cavalier peas, a Commodity code, does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The source documents fourteen active solicitations tagged under this code, but none involve dried cavalier peas; instead, they span fresh produce (apples, bananas, vegetables), dried beans (pinto and red), bulk grocery items, prepared entrees, and food service distribution contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs. The mismatch between the nominal commodity scope and the actual work being solicited suggests the code is either misapplied at posting or carries legacy categorization. State and local buyers using this code classification are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon and Texas), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Illinois), and municipal child nutrition agencies (City of Edinburg, Texas). School districts appear most frequently in the recent opportunities, typically issuing annual term contracts for food service supply to support child nutrition programs across dozens of schools.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (responses due June 19, 2026, and March 20, 2026), the Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2), and the State of Illinois solicited weekly food orders for a quarterly July–September quarter (due June 26, 2026). Georgia issued multiple solicitations including fresh produce through the Douglas County School System serving 30 districts via the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spend $5.5 million across two areas) and food supplies (due June 22, 2026). In Virginia, Fairfax County Public Schools issued a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB due April 27, 2026) requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools and a warehouse. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items over 900 line items for the 2026–27 school year (due April 29, 2026), and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia solicited 72 fresh produce items for school nutrition (due April 23, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited CACFP meal program supplies for 400 children under a local-vendor preference (due August 4, 2026). None of these solicitations explicitly reference dried cavalier peas as a line item or scope component.
