UNSPSC 50426909: Dried prince albert peas

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

UNSPSC 50426909 Dried prince albert peas, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct solicitation activity in state and local procurement; recent opportunities tagged under this code involve broader dried-bean categories and integrated food-service supply contracts rather than the specific product line. The source records show that state and local governments rarely isolate dried prince albert peas as a line item or standalone procurement. When dried legumes appear in state and local bids, they typically surface as subordinate components within larger food-supply contracts serving correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and child-care meal services. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued recent solicitations for dried pinto and red beans in substantial volume (approximately 42,500 to 127,500 pounds per procurement cycle), meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards and delivered to central distribution centers for inmate meal programs. Similarly, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and multiple school districts across the country solicit cafeteria and nutrition-program food products where dried legumes may be included as line items among hundreds of food commodities. Issuing bodies are primarily state departments of corrections, school districts, and child-nutrition programs, with occasional municipal and county participation in cooperative purchasing arrangements.

Geographic concentration of recent activity appears in Oregon (two ODOC procurements between March and June 2026), Texas (TDCJ and municipal school districts), Georgia (Douglas County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham school systems), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), alongside Illinois state procurement and Virginia school districts. The source contains no recent opportunity specifically naming dried prince albert peas; the most relevant recent solicitations are the Oregon Department of Corrections Invitation to Bid S2910000016233 for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026, and solicitation S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026. These procurements establish pricing benchmarks (historical awards at $0.43 to $0.493 per pound) and specification standards (triple-cleaned, minimum one-year shelf life, FOB destination delivery to central distribution). Businesses pursuing this code should monitor Oregon ODOC procurement cycles, Texas corrections and school-district food solicitations, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles used by Georgia and Missouri school systems, where dried legumes appear as cost-sensitive line items within larger food-service contracts; standalone demand for the specific prince albert variety remains unclear from available recent activity.
