UNSPSC 50486909: Prince albert pea purees

The variety of sugar peas known as prince albert peas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486909 Prince albert pea purees is a Commodity code that frames a narrow food product line but receives minimal discrete solicitation activity. State and local governments buying under this code procure shelf-stable pea products—typically canned or processed pea purees—as inventory components for institutional food service. In practice, however, pea purees appear as a single line item or skipped item within much larger consolidated food procurement efforts rather than as standalone requisitions. Recent solicitations show pea purees bundled into comprehensive cafeteria and consumables bids serving state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division), the Oregon Department of Corrections, and various Georgia school districts and county governments. The code does not command a distinct vendor or contracting segment—suppliers compete on pea purees as one item among dozens or hundreds in mixed-product food service contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. The Texas HHS Commission has issued multiple IFBs covering supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers, with pea purees included in line-item rosters alongside proteins, dairy, produce, and disposables. The TDCJ procurement for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (Addendum No. 2 extended the response deadline to May 4, 2026) encompasses approximately 382 line items with firm, fixed FOB Destination pricing required. Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (sealed bids due June 15, 2026, at 2:30 p.m.) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026, at 3:00 p.m.)—solicit comprehensive grocery line-item bids spanning fresh and frozen produce, proteins, and dry goods. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted discrete produce solicitations (canned tomatoes with a June 19, 2026 closing) but no standalone pea puree posting appears in the recent dataset. Vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete on pea purees as a minor line within large institutional food service IFBs and RFQs rather than as a category driver, and should prioritize eligibility for state and local cooperative purchasing vehicles and compliance with Buy American, HACCP, and USDA grade requirements common to all institutional food procurement.
