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, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of dried legumes for food service operations, though recent solicitations show the category encompasses a broader range of dried beans and peas than the code name alone suggests. State and local purchasing under this code spans school districts, state corrections and human services departments, and municipal child nutrition programs, with dried beans appearing across multiple concurrent solicitations from corrections facilities and school nutrition services. Activity shows dried pinto and red beans dominating recent solicitations alongside broader grocery and produce procurement efforts, indicating that issuing bodies often bundle legumes within larger food service supply contracts or solicit them as standalone line items within dried-goods categories.

Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate solicitations for dried pinto beans (ITB S-29100-00016233 for 127,500 pounds due March 20, 2026, and ITB S2910000017140 for 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026), both delivered FOB destination to Salem with U.S. No. 2 or better grade, triple-cleaned product, and one-year minimum shelf life. Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited dried beans as part of its broader cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026), and school districts in Missouri, Georgia, and Virginia have posted master grocery and produce contracts (Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School System, and Fairfax County Public Schools) in which dried legumes typically appear as line items within the vegetable or staple categories. Activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and South; Oregon Corrections has been a repeat buyer, and Georgia school districts coordinating through purchasing cooperatives show sustained demand across multiple districts. Pricing in the corrections sector references prior-year benchmarks (Oregon Corrections paid $0.43 per pound for dried pinto beans in August 2025 and $0.493 per pound in the same period for mixed dried beans), suggesting stable market rates and established supplier relationships in that segment.
