UNSPSC 50475405: Canned or jarred organic blackeyed peas

The variety of organic peas known as organic blackeyed peas that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50475405 Canned or jarred organic blackeyed peas is a Commodity code covering specialty legume products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service—specifically school nutrition programs, state-operated facilities, and correctional institutions. Recent opportunities show that while the code nominally targets canned blackeyed peas, the actual procurement activity under this and related canned-goods codes centers on broader food supply contracts where canned legumes, tomatoes, and prepared vegetables appear as line items within much larger multi-category food solicitations. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments issue the bulk of these solicitations. The State of Illinois (IVHQ), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (statewide facilities), Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia have all posted food procurement opportunities in the past four months. These are predominantly IFB and RFP notices, with response dates ranging from February through June 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and upper Midwest (Missouri, Illinois) with notable activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and mid-Atlantic (Virginia).

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products for state-supported living centers, estimated at $1.5 million historically, and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food procurement across four schools emphasizing whole grain and low-sodium specifications. The Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 (due April 6, 2026) sought approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case historically, with preference for Oregon-fabricated goods. Fairfax County Public Schools issued a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens, with bidders required to respond to a minimum of 76 items. These solicitations typically mandate firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, general liability insurance between $500,000 and $2,000,000, and payment within 30 days of delivery. Contract terms generally run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options of one to four years. The code shows consistent activity but does not appear as a standalone procurement—organic blackeyed peas and similar specialty legumes flow through multi-item food service contracts where they compete on price and availability alongside dozens of other commodity categories.
