UNSPSC 50595404: Dried Non GMO white acre peas

The variety of Non GMO peas known as Non GMO white acre 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 50595404 Dried Non GMO white acre peas is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure packaged dried legumes for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and state-supported living facilities chief among them. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations naming dried white acre peas by line item; however, the code appears in the context of broader food-service RFPs and IFBs where dried legumes are common components of meal planning and bulk purchasing. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). These entities are repeat buyers of institutional food commodities across school lunch programs, senior meal programs, and facility food service operations, often bundling dried legumes into larger grocery or fresh-produce solicitations subject to Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content and compliance with federal nutrition standards.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) posted an IFB on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program with a contract term of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB due July 11, 2026, for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning multiple items; and Hillsborough County (Florida) posted an ITB on June 3, 2026, for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90. The commodity code shows regional dispersion across institutional food-service procurement but no dedicated, high-volume solicitations isolating dried legumes as a standalone line item, suggesting that vendors in this space typically compete as part of broader grocery or meal-service contracts.
