UNSPSC 50415511: Organic yellow chile peppers

The variety of organic peppers known as organic yellow chile peppers

UNSPSC 50415511 Organic yellow chile peppers (Commodity) encompasses fresh produce supply for state and local food-service operations, spanning parks and recreation concessions, healthcare facility dining, state institutional cafeterias, and K–12 school lunch programs. The solicitations under this code reflect a broader produce-procurement activity in which the code appears as one line item within larger food-supply contracts rather than as a standalone specialty product. State and local jurisdictions issuing under this code include county government procurement offices (Collier County), regional healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), state departments (Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). The work involves meeting freshness standards, delivery timelines, volume commitments, food-safety compliance, and seasonal pricing adjustments typical of institutional food service.

Recent activity spans Florida (Collier County ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services, proposals due March 6, 2025), Georgia (State of Georgia bid for food supplies and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026), and multi-state healthcare procurement (Marion Health Care Coalition produce proposals, due August 21, 2026). Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line IFB for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools, due June 8, 2026, which itemizes vegetables, fruits, and related produce alongside meats, dairy, grains, and supplies; the district emphasizes domestic sourcing and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Pricing in school-district contracts must include packing and transportation with no separate fuel charges, remain firm for 15 days from award, and support piggybacking by other school districts. A 10-point local-vendor preference applies to the Collier County concession contract for vendors meeting permanent business address and employee residency criteria in Collier or Lee County.
