UNSPSC 50595403: Dried Non GMO crowder peas

The variety of Non GMO peas known as Non GMO crowder peas that has 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 50595403 Dried Non GMO crowder peas, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source records no opportunities soliciting this specific product line. State and local governments are actively procuring dried legumes and specialty produce items as component line items within much broader grocery, school nutrition, and food service contracts, but crowder peas are not called out separately in any of the recent solicitations spanning school districts in Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, or in state-level procurements by Georgia and Texas. School nutrition programs and state supported living centers do request dried vegetables, grains, and staple items through comprehensive food supply RFPs and IFBs that typically span 50 to over 1,100 line items—the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery IFB for the Board of Education (BNB052266) and the Douglas County School System's $9 million food supply and distribution RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026) being representative examples—but those opportunities group legumes and dried produce under undifferentiated commodity categories rather than isolating dried crowder peas as a standalone SKU.

Firms pursuing this code should expect to compete for crowder peas as a single line item or minor sub-category within multi-thousand-line-item blanket agreements rather than as a dedicated procurement. Entry points are likely school district food service contracts (particularly those serving populations with regional preferences for Southern staples), state cafeteria systems, and institutional food service for supported living centers or senior meal programs. Geographic concentration follows school district activity in the Southeast (Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida) where crowder peas appear in regional food culture and nutrition traditions, though recent posted solicitations do not surface dedicated demand signals for this commodity. Vendors holding USDA organic or non-GMO certification and offering bulk or case-pack quantities aligned with school nutrition and institutional kitchen prep volumes may position themselves competitively within larger food supply agreements, but this code shows minimal standalone visibility in the current procurement pipeline.
