UNSPSC 50172002: Soy based hot pepper paste

A traditional food of Korea that is made by mixing with the sweet rice, fermented soybean, and others with the hot pepper powder as the main ingredient and this is a unique and favourite food in Korea. For its ingredients, starch, powdered fermented soybean, salt, powdered red pepper, water and others.

UNSPSC 50172002 Soy based hot pepper paste is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities on record for this category. The code nominally names a specific condiment product, yet the recent solicitations—all from 2026—cover infant formula rebates, hospital groceries, school lunch program food procurement, and general kitchen supplies, none of which feature soy-based hot pepper paste or comparable specialty condiment items. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement records or that soy-based hot pepper paste sees minimal state and local procurement activity at present.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block are state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), municipalities and school districts (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases serving the Board of Education, and the State of Georgia). Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Connecticut, and Georgia based on the posted opportunities from May through October 2026. No recent solicitation for soy-based hot pepper paste appears in the record. If this code is actively used, it does so in a segment of state and local procurement not yet visible in current opportunity listings, or the code assignment does not reflect current buying patterns.
