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 is a Commodity code covering dried legume products for institutional food service. State and local governments purchasing under this code procure dried beans and peas—including pinto beans, red beans, and similar staples—for child nutrition programs, corrections facilities, school district cafeterias, and other public meal services. Recent solicitations show that purchasing bodies acquire these items in bulk quantities (ranging from tens of thousands to over 100,000 pounds per order), with delivery to central distribution centers or individual school and institutional sites. Products must meet USDA grade standards (typically U.S. No. 2 or better), be triple-cleaned, include nutritional labeling and food safety certifications, and maintain minimum shelf life guarantees (commonly one year or longer). Pricing is typically quoted on a per-pound basis with all transportation and delivery charges included on FOB Destination terms, and awards are made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.

Issuing bodies under this code are predominantly state departments of corrections and school districts. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple bids for dried pinto and red beans (March 2026 and June 2026 solicitations), indicating institutional food service as a repeat buyer. School districts in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia are also active—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) all procure grocery items including dried beans and legumes as part of broader child nutrition contracts. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and state agencies in Illinois and Georgia round out the mix, reflecting activity across corrections, K-12 nutrition, and state institutional feeding. Recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (response deadline June 19, 2026, at $0.493 per pound historical pricing) and the same agency's March 2026 solicitation for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (deadline March 20, 2026, at $0.43 per pound prior award). School district master grocery and nutrition service contracts in Texas, Missouri, Georgia, and Virginia include dried legume line items as components of broader procurement. Geographic concentration centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia; activity spans the South, Pacific Northwest, and Mid-Atlantic. The code shows active, recurring procurement cycles driven by institutional meal programs with firm pricing requirements and quarterly to annual contract terms.
