UNSPSC 50434000: Dried organic green peas

The type of organic vegetable known as organic green peas that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434000 Dried organic green peas, a Class code, captures state and local procurement of dried legumes and pulses for institutional meal service and food manufacturing. The recent opportunities under this code show state correctional systems, school food programs, and state agencies soliciting dried beans—kidney beans, pinto and red beans, and black beans—in bulk volumes ranging from 880-bag increments to tens of thousands of pounds, typically with triple-cleaned or USDA No. 2 grading standards, FDA and HACCP compliance requirements, and delivery to institutional distribution centers or meal-service locations. Issuing bodies span state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), state procurement divisions purchasing for multiple agencies or institutional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller, State of Illinois), municipal school food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state agencies serving institutional populations. Delivery terms uniformly require FOB destination or pre-noon weekday delivery; suppliers absorb all freight, fuel surcharges, and handling costs in all-inclusive bid pricing.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and West, with recent solicitations from Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an RFQ for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon or bidders headquartered there, with historical pricing around $0.493 per pound; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across proteins, grains, and produce, due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum), covering multiple TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas with a contract term through August 31, 2027 and two optional one-year renewals; and Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily under an RFP with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051, applying a 5% bid preference to vendors within Edinburg whose bids fall within 5% of the lowest price. None of the recent opportunities show explicit small-business, disadvantaged-enterprise, or women/minority-owned business set-asides; Oregon applies in-state processing and headquarters preferences for evaluation only.
