UNSPSC 50436909: Dried organic prince albert peas

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

UNSPSC 50436909 Dried organic prince albert peas, a Commodity code, nominally describes a specific legume variety, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows significant divergence: solicitations are actually requesting dried beans across multiple varieties—kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans—for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and child and adult care programs. The work involves procuring bulk dried legumes that meet USDA grading standards, food-safety compliance (FDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), and strict quality specifications including triple-cleaning, moisture-content limits, and foreign-material thresholds. State correctional agencies and departments of corrections appear as repeat buyers; other issuing bodies include state procurement offices on behalf of child-care programs and municipal food-service operators. Delivery terms consistently require FOB destination, all-inclusive pricing (transportation, fuel surcharges, and handling embedded in the bid), and palletization or bulk-bag formatting for institutional cooking.

Recent activity spans multiple states with Oregon and Georgia showing particular recent volume. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% local-preference evaluation adjustment for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and bidders headquartered there; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (including dried beans among 382 line items) to multiple warehouse locations with responses due May 4, 2026; Georgia Correctional Industries issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags due October 9, 2026; and the State of Oregon posted a bid for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a CACFP meal program serving approximately 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051, and the State of Illinois posted a quarterly food order under FY-27 IVHQ due June 26, 2026. Contract values and historical pricing are sparse in available materials, though the Oregon ODOC procurement noted a historical purchase price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA in August 2025.
