UNSPSC 50415515: Organic bell peppers

The variety of organic peppers known as organic bell peppers

UNSPSC 50415515 Organic bell peppers is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, though recent solicitations show a broader scope than the code name alone suggests—state and local buyers are contracting for mixed fresh produce (vegetables and fruits), specialty items (organic or conventional), and full food-service supply lines that bundle produce with proteins, dairy, grains, and non-food kitchen supplies. Issuing bodies span county park systems, county boards of education managing school lunch and breakfast programs, state procurement offices, and health care coalitions. Early County Board of Education and the State of Georgia have posted solicitations recently; county parks and recreation divisions and school food-service operations appear as repeat buyers when produce purchases anchor broader food-supply contracts. The scope of work includes provision and delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables to meet operational needs with compliance to health and food-safety regulations, quality standards, delivery timelines, volume requirements, and seasonal availability adjustments; school districts emphasize whole-grain and low-sodium options, domestic sourcing preferences, and products without added sugars or artificial additives.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits alongside proteins, dairy, and grains for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend. Marion Health Care Coalition (Marion, state not specified) sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026, for qualified vendors to provide and deliver fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park and concession facilities, due March 6, 2025, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points and a three-year contract term with two one-year renewal options. The State of Georgia posted a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026, with scope contained in an attached document. School districts and county park systems remain the most visible issuing bodies under this code in recent months.
