UNSPSC 50435401: Dried organic purple hull peas

The variety of organic peas known as organic purple hull peas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50435401 Dried organic purple hull peas is a Commodity code that covers dried legumes for institutional food service and meal programs. In practice, state and local buyers soliciting under this code and related dried-bean categories are procuring bulk dried legumes—kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans—for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, state agency warehouses, and institutional kitchens. Dried beans are typically specified to USDA grade standards (U.S. No. 2 or better), triple-cleaned to remove debris and contaminants, and delivered palletized with defined moisture content and foreign-material thresholds. Issuing bodies span state correctional departments, state procurement divisions, municipal governments, and state departments of corrections, all sourcing institutional-volume quantities for regular meal service delivery.

Recent activity shows Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division), and the City of Edinburg, Texas all soliciting dried beans in 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 response deadline, specifying triple-cleaned beans, U.S. No. 2 or better grade, FOB destination to Salem, Oregon, with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with delivery included in all-inclusive pricing and an October 9, 2026 deadline. The City of Edinburg's RFP for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service supporting 400 children included dried beans as one component of a broader five-category food and supply procurement with daily delivery requirements and a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Geographic concentration appears in Oregon and Georgia with secondary activity in Texas and Illinois. Pricing in recent solicitations reflects institutional bulk procurement with FOB destination terms, palletization requirements, and strict compliance with federal food-safety standards including FDA, USDA, and HACCP certification.
