UNSPSC 50436908: Dried organic oregon sugar pod peas

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

UNSPSC 50436908 Dried organic Oregon sugar pod peas is a Commodity code that covers legume products for institutional food service, but the recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct purchasing aligned with this narrow specification. The code sees solicitation activity primarily from school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and child care agencies purchasing broad categories of dried beans and fresh produce as components of larger food-supply contracts. What state and local governments actually buy under this code tier consists of dried legumes—pinto beans, red beans, and similar dried pulses—procured in bulk quantities (ranging from approximately 42,500 to 127,500 pounds per contract) to support meal programs serving incarcerated populations, K–12 students, and children in child care settings. The issuing bodies are state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District), and municipal or regional child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas; State of Illinois; State of Georgia). Repeat activity centers on corrections and school district procurement offices managing annual or multi-year competitive solicitations.

Geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division soliciting approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans via ITB S-29100-00016233 (response deadline March 20, 2026, with prior award to Farmer Bean at $0.43 per pound in August 2025); ODOC issuing a separate IFB for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans combined (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026, previous price $0.493 per pound); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products including dried beans as commodity-line items (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum from April 21); and the City of Edinburg, Texas, soliciting CACFP meal program supplies including food products under RFP 2026-017 (response deadline August 4, 2026). Evaluation criteria across these procurements weight price heavily (30–80 points) alongside vendor qualifications, experience, and compliance with USDA and FDA standards. Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-processed and Oregon-headquartered bidders. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent opportunities, though school districts typically require vendors to self-classify as small, minority-owned, or woman-owned businesses in their submissions. Delivery terms are FOB Destination with products meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards, triple-cleaned specifications, and minimum one-year shelf life from delivery.
