UNSPSC 50445404: Frozen white acre peas

The variety of peas known as white acre peas that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50445404 Frozen white acre peas is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of comprehensive institutional food service contracts for correctional facilities, school districts, and state health and human services agencies. The code sees limited standalone activity; frozen white acre peas are typically sourced alongside mixed frozen vegetable assortments, carrots, broccoli, and other commodity vegetables through consolidated food procurement vehicles. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related frozen-vegetable codes include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Institutional food service remains the primary use case, with procurement driven by USDA meal-pattern compliance, Buy American requirements for school nutrition programs, and cost-per-pound competitive bidding on FOB Destination terms.

Recent activity under frozen-vegetable procurement shows Oregon Department of Corrections posting multiple ITBs for frozen corn, frozen assorted vegetables (including peas, broccoli, and green beans), and frozen carrots in June and April 2026 with response dates typically 14 to 30 days out and 5 percent Oregon-vendor preferences stacked with resident-bidder preferences for a combined 10 percent incentive. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 (response deadline extended to May 4) for approximately 382 line-item cafeteria food products across five warehouse distribution points, with frozen vegetables specified by USDA grade and packaging size. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County, Bulloch County, Early County, Burke County, and City Schools of Decatur), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Texas (Dallas ISD, DISD), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and Pennsylvania (Montgomery County Correctional Facility) posted food bids between February and June 2026 with response windows of 30 to 60 days, typically under IFB or RFP structures with firm pricing for 30 to 365 days post-award and six-month escalation windows thereafter tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index documentation. No recent opportunities explicitly named frozen white acre peas as a standalone line item; activity is concentrated in mixed frozen-vegetable lots and assorted-blend categories where peas compete as one component among carrots, corn, green beans, broccoli, and other staples.
