UNSPSC 50405635: Tabasco peppers

The variety of peppers known as tabasco peppers

UNSPSC 50405635 Tabasco peppers is a Commodity code representing a single produce line item. State and local governments procure tabasco peppers as a component of broader fresh produce and food service supply contracts, typically for institutional food service operations including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and mental health centers. Recent solicitations show tabasco peppers requested alongside general fresh vegetable assortments rather than as standalone line items; the code appears in procurement contexts where institutional kitchens source mixed produce inventories to support meal preparation across multiple facilities.

State health and human services agencies, departments of criminal justice, and school districts dominate solicitation activity under related fresh-produce codes that would encompass this item. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear repeatedly as major institutional buyers, alongside Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County) and Illinois correctional and mental health facilities. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois and sporadic solicitation from other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods including sauces and peppers at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (IFB posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable procurements for food warehouse supply (IW267376 for Palestine facility due October 19, 2026; IW267420 for Snyder warehouse due October 14, 2026). School nutrition programs sourcing local and fresh produce represent an active segment, including Bartow County Schools' RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables due June 22, 2026, and Bryan County Schools' fresh produce bid due May 27, 2026.
