UNSPSC 50414017: Organic pepicha

The variety of organic herbs known as organic pepicha

UNSPSC 50414017 Organic pepicha, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local food procurement activity appearing in recent solicitations tagged to this code. The recent opportunities show that state and local buyers are soliciting shelf-stable groceries, fresh and frozen food products, canteen supplies, and food service items for institutional facilities—prisons, state-supported living centers, senior services, and other state and county operations. The abstract code name "Organic pepicha" bears no relationship to the work being bought; the source shows little to no relevant recent activity specific to organic pepicha as a distinct procurement line item. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state facilities serving vulnerable populations.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food service groceries, canteen groceries, and supplemental food and consumables for state-supported living centers at Mexia and El Paso under solicitations HHS0017799, HHS0017798, HHS0017449, and HHS0016792V2, with response deadlines from June through August 2026 and historical contract values ranging from $160,500 to $4,500,000 over multi-year terms. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services on October 13, 2026, with quotes due October 19, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procured cafeteria food products for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice across five geographic areas under IFB 304T-26-300CF with a May 4, 2026 deadline. The State of Illinois and State of Georgia also posted food procurement solicitations in mid-2026. These opportunities reveal that state and local governments use this code to solicit broad food-service supply contracts rather than specialized organic produce items.
