UNSPSC 50475402: Canned or jarred organic pinkeye peas

The variety of organic peas known as organic pinkeye peas that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50475402 Canned or jarred organic pinkeye peas is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable legume products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations serving correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and senior services programs. The actual purchasing activity under this code reflects broad-based food service demand rather than procurement of organic pinkeye peas specifically—recent solicitations name this code alongside dozens of other canned vegetables, proteins, dairy products, and consumables as line items within comprehensive food-supply contracts. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county and municipal school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Gwinnett County), and specialized state agencies managing correctional and residential facilities. Texas agencies appear as repeat buyers, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing multiple IFBs for food and consumables to state supported living centers; Texas Department of Criminal Justice separately solicited cafeteria food products for prison warehouse distribution. The institutional food service context—with requirements for bulk case quantities, USDA compliance, specific shelf-life minimums, and delivery to multiple facility locations—defines the market.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB on June 5, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent, delivery to Salem, and a prior purchase reference of $13.75 per case. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (due October 23, 2026), for consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies with delivery required within seven days of order receipt. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #26271 on May 19, 2026 (due June 15, 2026), for school nutrition food products across four school sites with Buy American Act requirements and compliance with Child Nutrition meal patterns. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026), for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services. Contract values in the source range from $1.5 million historical spend (Texas HHS El Paso facility) to $4.5 million potential value over three years (supplemental foods to state hospitals and living centers statewide), though most recent notices do not disclose estimated contract values.
