UNSPSC 50596902: Dried Non GMO cavalier peas

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO cavalier 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 50596902 Dried Non GMO cavalier peas (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within the broader school nutrition and food service procurement ecosystem, though recent state and local solicitation activity shows minimal direct demand for this specific commodity. The opportunities posted under this code primarily reflect general grocery, fresh produce, and meal service contracts where dried peas may constitute one of many line items within larger food supply frameworks. State and local governments procuring food for school districts, senior nutrition programs, and state-supported facilities do source legumes and related staple items, but the recent solicitation record does not isolate dried non-GMO cavalier peas as a standalone or strategically significant procurement category. Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include school districts (Bridgeport Public Schools in Connecticut, Hancock County and Bulloch County boards of education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), county and city governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida and the City of Dallas), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). These jurisdictions typically consolidate dried goods, vegetables, and proteins into master grocery or food supply line-item lists rather than issuing separate solicitations for individual commodities.

The geographic footprint of recent activity spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with particularly dense school district activity in Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 2026 grocery items RFP (BNB052266) covering over 1,100 food line items for school nutrition with a July 1, 2026 contract start, the Douglas County School System's February 2026 food supply and distribution RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000046) for approximately $9 million in annual food service covering 32 schools, and Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 master grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323) requiring bidders to supply a minimum of 76 items across school delivery locations. These opportunities are issued as comprehensive food service RFPs and IFBs where dried legumes would appear as individual line items under larger vegetable, grain, or staple-goods categories rather than as standalone commodity procurements. Bidders pursuing this UNSPSC code should recognize that winning opportunity typically requires capability to supply diverse product categories under consolidated grocery contracts, not specialization in dried peas alone.
