UNSPSC 50405627: Mirasol peppers

The variety of peppers known as mirasol peppers

UNSPSC 50405627 Mirasol peppers is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of mirasol chili peppers for institutional food service and consumption. State and local governments buying under this code source mirasol peppers as line items within broader food service and grocery procurement for corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations. The peppers appear most commonly as component ingredients in canteen groceries, kitchen supplies, and prepared or fresh-produce offerings for institutional populations rather than as standalone specialty items; recent solicitations name mirasol peppers alongside bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and other produce staples in mixed-item food bids.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools in Georgia; Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin), and county-level institutions (Collier County Parks and Recreation for regional park concessions). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas HHS Commission appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent opportunities. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables and canteen foods, due October 23, 2026), which bundles prepared foods and kitchen supplies across 22 line items including peppers and sauces; the Bartow County School System RFP 10-2026-019 (local fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 school year, due June 22, 2026); and the Dougherty County Board of Education IFB 016-SNS-2027 (fresh produce for school nutrition, 40 line items, due June 16, 2026). Evaluation typically weights cost at 30–40 percent, seasonal variety and product quality at 20–35 percent, delivery compliance and customer support at 15–20 percent, and where applicable, local-sourcing or diverse-business status at 5–15 percent.
