UNSPSC 50415520: Organic finger hot peppers

The variety of organic peppers known as organic finger hot peppers

UNSPSC 50415520 Organic finger hot peppers is a Commodity code encompassing fresh produce items that state and local governments procure for food service operations, institutional dining, and concession facilities. Recent solicitations show that this code captures procurement of fresh vegetables and fruits — including but not limited to specialty peppers — as components of broader food-service contracts for schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and state agencies. The issuing bodies sourcing under this code span county procurement offices (Collier County), independent school districts (Early County Board of Education), state purchasing (State of Georgia), and healthcare purchasing coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Vendors typically must comply with food safety regulations, HACCP requirements, domestic sourcing preferences where applicable, and delivery schedules tied to institutional meal-preparation cycles.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with posted opportunities from Florida, Georgia, and Marion County. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN, due March 6, 2025) for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a 10-point local-vendor preference and a three-year contract term with two one-year renewal options; the Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with emphasis on domestic sourcing and whole-grain products. The State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026), and Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals for the 2026-2027 contract period (due August 21, 2026). School districts and county parks operations represent the largest institutional demand signals in the recent posting record.
