UNSPSC 50435404: Dried organic white acre peas

The variety of organic peas known as organic white acre peas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50435404 Dried organic white acre peas, a Commodity code, nominally covers legume procurement for institutional and correctional food service, though recent state and local activity shows issuing bodies are buying dried beans across multiple varieties — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans — in bulk quantities for correctional facilities, school meal programs, state agencies, and public institutions. State departments of corrections, departments of agriculture, and city meal-program operators are the primary issuing bodies, supported by institutional purchasing on behalf of educational and social-service programs. The work involves specification-driven procurement of triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried legumes meeting food-safety and bulk-preparation standards, with delivery to institutional distribution centers and meal-service locations.

Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-sourced and Oregon-headquartered vendors and FOB delivery to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem; the State of Oregon issued a separate bid for dried black beans (triple-cleaned) due August 21, 2026, intended for institutional use across state agencies and educational institutions. In Georgia, the State Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet compliance required. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted an RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies (including dried beans as part of a five-category food-and-nonfood package) due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and daily delivery Monday–Friday before noon. Illinois and Georgia have also posted broader food-supply solicitations that may encompass legumes as line items. Pricing data from the Oregon ODOC bid indicates a historical incumbent rate of $0.493 per pound as of August 2025, with FOB delivery and palletization required.
