UNSPSC 50436905: Dried organic early onward peas

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

UNSPSC 50436905 Dried organic early onward peas, a Commodity code, covers dried legumes purchased by state and local institutions for bulk meal service, institutional food supply, and correctional and educational food programs. State and local governments buying under this code procure staple dried beans and peas in large quantities — typically measured in hundreds of bags or tens of thousands of pounds — for preparation in institutional kitchens serving corrections facilities, school lunch programs, child and adult care food programs (CACFP), and state agency dining operations. The work involves straightforward commodity procurement with detailed USDA grading, cleanliness, moisture-content, and food-safety compliance requirements; suppliers deliver palletized, bulk product on FOB destination terms with all freight and handling charges included in pricing and no separate reimbursement for transportation or tariffs. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state procurement offices acting on behalf of state agencies or corrections systems, municipal governments running child and adult care programs, and school districts. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Illinois have all posted solicitations in this commodity area in the recent past.

Recent activity spans the Southeast and Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods and 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders) and a historical price of $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification compliance requirements; the City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies (including dried beans and other food products) due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor preference for bids within 5% of the lowest price and daily delivery requirements; and the State of Oregon solicited triple-cleaned dried black beans due August 21, 2026, for institutional use. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued a broad cafeteria food products IFB (304T-26-300CF) with response due May 4, 2026, spanning multiple commodity lines and warehouse locations across five geographic areas. The code shows steady activity across state corrections and institutional meal-service operations, with responses typically due within one to three weeks of posting and delivery expected within 30 to 45 days of order.
