UNSPSC 50415521: Organic guajillo peppers

The variety of organic peppers known as organic guajillo peppers

UNSPSC 50415521 Organic guajillo peppers, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh produce items—particularly specialty and organic vegetables—that state and local governments procure for food service operations across parks, schools, health care facilities, and institutional dining. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing fresh produce as part of broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys. The issuing bodies include county park systems (Collier County), school districts (Early County Board of Education), health care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). The scope of work involves qualified produce vendors meeting quality standards, delivery timelines, volume commitments, food safety compliance, and product freshness guarantees, with pricing adjustments permitted based on seasonal availability. Vendors typically bear responsibility for transportation and delivery to designated locations, often within specific temperature and handling windows, and must comply with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, liability insurance requirements, E-Verify enrollment, and food recall procedures.

Recent activity spans Georgia (State of Georgia produce bid, Early County Board of Education food bid, and Marion Health Care Coalition procurement) and Florida (Collier County park concessions ITN). The most recent relevant opportunity is the Early County Board of Education FY27 food bid, an IFB with bids due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools with firm pricing and domestic sourcing preferences. The Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce RFP on August 7, 2026 with proposals due August 21, 2026, seeking fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period. A Collier County ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services, posted October 8, 2026 with proposals due March 6, 2025, includes food-and-beverage concessions requiring menu variety and high-quality options across multiple venues, though the primary scope emphasizes full food service rather than produce supply alone. School districts and county systems dominate the current activity, with contract terms typically spanning one to three years.
