UNSPSC 50456904: Frozen organic darfon peas

The variety of organic sugar peas known as organic darfon peas that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456904 Frozen organic darfon peas, a Commodity code, nominally describes a single frozen vegetable product, but the recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows no targeted procurement of frozen darfon peas specifically. Instead, the code appears to capture broader frozen and fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs and state food service operations. School districts and state agencies are buying comprehensive frozen and fresh produce portfolios — including apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, eggs, and staple vegetables and fruits — alongside main-line food service distribution, grocery items, and meal-support supplies. The issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System) and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). These solicitations reflect ongoing school nutrition program operations under USDA child nutrition mandates, with emphasis on whole-grain standards, low-sodium formulations, Buy American compliance, HACCP food-safety protocols, and domestic sourcing preferences.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food and produce bid due June 8, 2026 (RFP covering 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies for a July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 contract); the Douglas County School System's fresh-produce-and-eggs RFP due March 4, 2026, serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million; and the City Schools of Decatur's frozen-foods-and-grocery IFB due May 15, 2026, for the 2026–2027 school year with delivery to ten school sites. The State of Georgia has also solicited fresh produce (IFB due May 27, 2026) and food supplies (due June 22, 2026). Dallas ISD issued an RFP for various food products due April 2, 2026, and Rockwood R-VI School District solicited over 900 line items of grocery items with bids due April 29, 2026. Contracts typically run one year with renewal options, firm pricing for the contract period, and delivery to multiple school sites. No recent procurement under this code targets frozen darfon peas as a line item.
