UNSPSC 50436904: Dried organic darfon peas

The variety of organic sugar peas known as organic darfon peas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436904 Dried organic darfon peas (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally addresses a specific dried legume product, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span broad food-service procurement across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations where dried peas represent one line item among hundreds in much larger food-supply solicitations. The City of Edinburg, Texas, Child and Adult Care Food Program RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery procurement (due April 29, 2026) both encompass dried legumes within expansive food categories—proteins, grains, and staple items—but neither isolates dried darfon peas or organic variants as a focused line of business. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two recent solicitations specifically for dried beans: ITB S-29100-00016233 (March 20, 2026 deadline) for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans and ITB S2910000017140 (June 19, 2026 deadline) for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans combined, both delivered to Salem. These represent the only recent state-local opportunities with dried-legume specificity, but they target pinto and red varieties rather than darfon peas.

Issuing bodies across the dataset—Texas school districts, Missouri districts, Georgia school systems and county schools, Oregon corrections, Illinois state procurement, and Virginia school districts—routinely aggregate dried legumes into commodity food bundles rather than issue standalone darfon-pea solicitations. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, driven primarily by school nutrition and corrections food-service cycles running on fiscal-year procurement schedules (typically spring bidding for July 1 contract start). The absence of standalone darfon-pea RFPs or RFQs suggests the code is either misapplied in recent postings or represents a niche ingredient within much larger master-grocery and food-distribution contracts where volume, pricing, and award are determined across hundreds of line items. Vendors pursuing the dried-legume segment should monitor the Oregon Department of Corrections and large school-district procurement vehicles for recurring annual bean solicitations, but should not rely on code 50436904 alone to surface relevant opportunities—broader commodity and class-level codes spanning fresh and processed vegetables and legumes will capture the actual buying pattern.
