UNSPSC 50405631: Pimiento peppers

The variety of peppers known as pimiento peppers

UNSPSC 50405631 Pimiento peppers is a Commodity code that covers the sourcing and delivery of fresh pimiento peppers and other produce to institutional food service operations, including corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, mental health facilities, school districts, and senior services programs. State and local procurement activity under this code spans corrections departments, health and human services agencies, school nutrition programs, county parks departments, and specialized food-service entities purchasing fresh produce for client meals, canteen operations, and community programs. Recent solicitations show institutional buyers procuring fresh produce as part of broader food service contracts rather than pimiento peppers alone; the code appears to sit within larger grocery and fresh-produce procurement families that state and local agencies routinely advertise through IFB, RFP, and RFQ notice types.

Issuing bodies include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health, school districts in Wisconsin, Georgia, and Texas, county governments in Florida and Georgia, and specialized agencies such as Head Start programs and senior services divisions. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears frequently as a repeat buyer of fresh produce for institutional food service at multiple warehouse locations. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with additional recent solicitations from Florida, Wisconsin, and national child-care and Head Start networks. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations IW267376 (Palestine, Texas) and IW267420 (Snyder Food Warehouse, both due October 14, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (quotes due September 3, 2026), the Dougherty County Board of Education School Nutrition Program's sealed bid for fresh produce covering 40 line items across 24 school nutrition sites (bids due June 16, 2026), and the Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due May 22, 2026). These solicitations typically require F.O.B. Destination pricing with all transportation included, bi-weekly or weekly delivery schedules, compliance with food-safety and USDA standards, and general liability insurance in the range of $500,000 to $1,000,000.
