UNSPSC 50596910: Dried Non GMO reuzensuiker peas

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO reuzensuiker 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 50596910 Dried Non GMO reuzensuiker peas (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within school nutrition and institutional food service procurement. State and local governments buy this commodity primarily as a component of bulk food supply contracts for school districts, state health agencies, and county nutritional-support programs. The solicitations show that dried peas appear as line items within much larger grocery and produce RFPs rather than as standalone procurements; they are bought alongside hundreds of other food products to support National School Lunch Program compliance, breakfast and lunch service, and emergency meal programs. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state health agencies, with school nutrition departments driving the majority of activity. School districts solicit dried peas as part of annual nutrition contracts that span July through June fiscal years and must meet Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards and Buy American domestic-content thresholds (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients in processed products).

The code shows recent activity concentrated in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce and processed items for school year 2026–27 with bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) solicited grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services Department with bids due June 30, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 and a prior-period monetary value of $1.5 million. Pricing in school nutrition contracts is typically firm fixed for the contract year with CPI adjustments permitted only when major market changes occur and documented in advance. Vendors must meet strict compliance requirements including HACCP certification, liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence), state health inspection records, and nutritional analysis documentation with blind testing by school personnel at vendor expense.
