UNSPSC 50446906: Frozen feltham first peas

The variety of sugar peas known as feltham first peas that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446906 Frozen feltham first peas is a Commodity code that state and local procurement offices use to purchase frozen pea products for institutional food service operations, primarily cafeterias, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. Recent activity shows procurement offices buying frozen vegetables across multiple product lines—carrots, corn, assorted blends, and peas—under similar commodity codes, with emphasis on USDA Grade A or B compliance, FDA standards, minimum six-month shelf life at delivery, and FOB destination pricing inclusive of all transportation and fuel surcharges. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of corrections, school districts, county governments, and municipal agencies; the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple Georgia and Pennsylvania school districts appear repeatedly as active buyers of frozen vegetable products in this category. Issuers weight Oregon state preferences (10 percent combined for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders), Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural content for school nutrition programs), and HACCP plan compliance as standard conditions across most recent solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), South, and Mid-Atlantic regions, with the most recent and densest solicitation activity in Oregon, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Missouri. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division issuing ITB S2910000017451 for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026, at $0.498 per pound historical reference); the same agency's ITB S2910000016558 for assorted frozen vegetables including peas, broccoli, and green beans (approximately 400,000 pounds total, due April 22, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools School Nutrition Program issuing IFB #26271 for multiple frozen and fresh produce categories (due June 15, 2026, with Buy American and whole-grain requirements). Award is typically made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with contract terms commonly running one year with renewal options. Pricing remains firm for 30 to 60 days post-award, then subject to quarterly or semi-annual adjustment based on USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index documentation when price movements exceed stated thresholds (typically 3 to 5 percent).
