UNSPSC 50426904: Dried darfon peas

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

UNSPSC 50426904 Dried darfon peas is a Commodity code that encompasses dried legumes and pulses procured for institutional food service and correctional meal programs. State and local governments buying under this code source dried beans—including pinto, red, black, and kidney varieties—for bulk cooking in correctional facilities, child care programs, school districts, and other public institutions. Issuing bodies span state correctional departments, state purchasing offices acting on behalf of department-level customers, city governments managing federal child nutrition programs, and state institutional food-service operations. The work involves specification-driven procurement of food-grade dried legumes meeting USDA or state-defined grading and cleanliness standards, with delivery to institutional distribution centers or direct to meal-preparation sites on fixed schedules.
