UNSPSC 50414017: Organic pepicha

The variety of organic herbs known as organic pepicha

UNSPSC 50414017 Organic pepicha (Commodity) does not map to the state and local opportunities posted under this code. The recent solicitations—spanning Illinois, Texas, Georgia, and Missouri school districts and state health agencies—all seek conventional food products for institutional food service, including bulk grocery items, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, frozen foods, and food-service consumables. None of the opportunities reference pepicha, a specialized Mexican culinary ingredient, and the code appears to be a taxonomic mismatch with actual procurement activity. State and local jurisdictions are actively buying food products for cafeteria operations, child nutrition programs, and institutional dining, but the specific commodity named under this code shows no recent solicitation footprint in the available opportunities.

The issuing bodies conducting food procurement are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and general state purchasing divisions (Illinois, Georgia). These agencies solicit through IFB and RFP notices with response windows typically 30–60 days from posting. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, covering state supported living centers statewide with a historical value of $1.5 million and a maximum potential three-year value of $4.5 million), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, with weekly deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens), and the Rockwood School District grocery items procurement (due April 29, 2026, spanning over 900 line items to serve approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily). Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with additional solicitations in Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois.
