UNSPSC 50434003: Dried organic garden peas

The variety of organic green peas known as organic garden peas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434003 Dried organic garden peas is a Commodity code that covers dried legumes for institutional food service and meal programs, though recent state and local solicitations show dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties) dominating procurement activity under this code family. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily corrections agencies, state food service operations, and municipalities purchasing bulk dried legumes for inmate meals, school food programs, and child and adult care meal services. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (procured through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and the City of Edinburg, Texas all solicited dried bean products in the past six months. The scope of work centers on triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried beans delivered in bulk quantities to institutional distribution centers or meal-service sites, with specifications requiring compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards, defect limits, moisture-content thresholds, and minimum shelf-life requirements.

Oregon and Texas drive the most recent activity, with the Oregon Department of Corrections bidding approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bids due June 19, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procuring cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations via IFB 304T26300CF (bids extended to May 4, 2026), and Georgia Correctional Industries requesting kidney beans in 880-bag increments (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas also solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026), and the State of Oregon bid dried black beans, triple-cleaned, for institutional use (IFB S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026). Oregon applies a combined 10% preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon or by Oregon-headquartered vendors; Texas offers local-vendor preferences under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 in Edinburg; and pricing across all solicitations is all-inclusive of freight, fuel surcharges, and delivery to specified FOB destination points. Historical pricing from the ODOC procurement shows $0.493 per pound as of August 2025, and all recent opportunities require electronic bid submission or proposal portals.
