UNSPSC 50596908 Dried Non GMO Oregon Sugar Pod Peas, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities dataset shows no solicitations specifically requesting this product line or any references to dried sugar pod peas as a line item within broader food service contracts.

State and local nutrition programs and food service operations—including school districts, county boards of education, senior meal services, and state health agencies—are actively procuring fresh produce, canned and frozen vegetables, grains, dairy products, and comprehensive grocery items under related codes. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Douglas County School System (Georgia), City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) have all issued recent RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs for school nutrition and senior meal services spanning produce, frozen items, grains, condiments, and specialty foods. These solicitations reflect sustained demand for food service contracting in the K-12 and senior care segments, with contract values ranging from approximately $1.5 million to $17.8 million over multi-year terms. However, dried sugar pod peas as a named commodity do not appear in any of the specifications, line-item lists, or scope narratives in these active procurements, suggesting either minimal current demand for this specific product at the state and local level or classification under a different UNSPSC code in actual purchasing practice.
