UNSPSC 50436900: Dried organic sugar peas

The type of organic vegetable known as organic sugar peas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436900 Dried organic sugar peas is a Class code that encompasses procurement of dried legumes and pulses for institutional food service — including not only the titular sugar peas but dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans used across correctional facilities, child care programs, state agency kitchens, and educational institutions. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments of corrections and agriculture, city and county governments operating food-service programs, and special-purpose entities managing institutional meal delivery. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the City of Edinburg, and the State of Illinois have all posted solicitations for dried legumes in recent months, with Georgia appearing twice. The work itself centers on bulk procurement of food-grade dried beans meeting USDA or institutional specifications, triple-cleaned to remove debris and foreign material, with delivery FOB destination in palletized form to state warehouses or food-service distribution centers. Pricing is all-inclusive of transportation, fuel surcharges, and delivery fees; vendors must meet food-safety compliance (HACCP, FDA, USDA) and often must provide product certifications, nutritional labels, and insurance documentation.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and West, with activity in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB on June 5, 2026, for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19 deadline, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed entirely in Oregon and bidders headquartered in Oregon; the historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) on October 2, 2026, for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with an October 9 response deadline. The State of Oregon posted a separate solicitation (S2910000017705) for dried black beans due August 21, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items under RFP 2026-017 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference; the City of Edinburg sourcing spans five categories including food products, beverages, paper goods, and janitorial supplies, and all meals must comply with Texas Department of Agriculture standards and CACFP regulations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse locations, with an initial contract term through August 31, 2027, and two optional one-year renewals.
