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 staple dried legumes purchased by state and local nutrition programs, correctional systems, and school districts to support meal service operations. The code sees activity across child nutrition services, institutional food service, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show state corrections departments, school districts (individual and cooperative), and municipal child care programs buying dried beans and peas as components of larger food supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted multiple dried-bean procurements in the past four months, and school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia are sourcing produce and protein items for nutrition programs, though these broader food solicitations typically embed dried legumes within larger grocery or entree-supply scopes rather than isolating them as discrete procurement lines.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with the most recent discrete dried-bean solicitations posted by the Oregon Department of Corrections. The Oregon ODOC issued ITB S2910000016233 on March 6, 2026 (due March 20, 2026) for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans, and a subsequent ITB S2910000017140 on June 5, 2026 (due June 19, 2026) for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, both specifying U.S. No. 2 or better grade, triple-cleaned product, FOB destination to Salem, with a 5 percent Oregon-fabricated preference and 5 percent resident-bidder preference. The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21) encompasses approximately 382 food line items across five TDCJ warehouse locations, including dried beans and other staples. The City of Edinburg, Texas issued RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies (due August 4, 2026) covering five supply categories including food products, with a 5 percent local-vendor preference. School nutrition solicitations by Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (bid due April 29, 2026), and Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP SN 26-003 and SN 26-004, due February 18 and March 4, 2026) each target broad grocery or fresh-produce supply but do not isolate dried legumes in publicly available scope summaries.
