UNSPSC 50594001: Dried Non GMO china peas

The variety of Non GMO green peas known as Non GMO china peas that have been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50594001 Dried Non GMO China Peas is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried legumes and pulses for school nutrition, institutional food service, and senior meal programs. Recent solicitations show school districts, county health agencies, and state-supported facilities sourcing dried peas alongside broader fresh and processed grocery categories to meet National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American requirements (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content in processed items), and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards. Vendors supplying under this code typically participate in multi-line-item food service contracts where dried peas represent one commodity within 200-plus-item produce, protein, and pantry-staple portfolios. Contracts require HACCP certification, food safety documentation, nutritional labeling compliance, allergen management (nut-free specifications common), and delivery infrastructure to multiple school and facility sites. Pricing is firm-fixed throughout the contract term with no fuel or freight surcharges; payment terms run Net 30 to Net 45 days. Blind taste and specification testing by school personnel and laboratory technicians is standard, with samples evaluated for color, texture, taste, and compliance.

Recent activity spans school districts and state health agencies across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning 1,100+ line items including dried goods, with deliveries to a central warehouse and school sites. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) at $1.5 million historical value. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted fresh produce for 2026–27 (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) requiring 51% domestic content. The State of Georgia issued a broader food-supplies solicitation (due June 22, 2026), and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi sought packaged meal boxes for summer food service (due April 29, 2026). School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix; state-level procurements and county health agencies represent secondary activity.
