UNSPSC 50436823: Dried organic dau mue or pea tips

The type of organic vegetable known as organic dau mue or pea tips that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436823 Dried organic dau mue or pea tips (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope; the most recent opportunities tagged under this code solicited dried kidney beans, pinto and red beans, black beans, and mixed cafeteria food products for correctional facilities, child nutrition programs, and state agency meal services. State and local governments buying under dried-legume and institutional food-supply codes procure bulk staple proteins for correctional kitchens, school and child-care meal programs, and state agency food services in increments ranging from hundreds of bags to tens of thousands of pounds, typically requiring USDA grading certification, triple-cleaning standards, compliance with FDA and HACCP protocols, and palletized delivery on FOB destination terms with all-inclusive pricing. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing divisions, municipal school and nutrition programs, and state institutions; Georgia Correctional Industries and the Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers in the most recent cycle.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued bids on June 5, 2026 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, offering a combined 10% state-of-origin and processing preference and citing a prior purchase at $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an IFB on October 2, 2026 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, requiring electronic PDF submission with complete specification sheets and prohibiting compliance shortcuts. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, vegetables) to supply Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations across five geographic areas, with a pre-bid conference held March 26, 2026 and the response deadline extended via addendum to May 4, 2026. The mismatch between the code's declared commodity (dried pea tips) and the actual procurement activity (commodity dried beans of other varieties) suggests either misclassification in the source data or dormancy of the specific pea-tips line itself.
