UNSPSC 50415524: Organic hungarian wax peppers

The variety of organic peppers known as organic hungarian wax peppers

UNSPSC 50415524 Organic Hungarian wax peppers is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce through this code primarily to support child nutrition programs in school districts, with recent solicitations showing heavy emphasis on bulk fresh fruit and vegetable supply for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance. The code encompasses the sourcing, purchase, and delivery of fresh produce items—in this case, specifically organic Hungarian wax peppers as a line item within larger fresh produce contracts—though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly calling for Hungarian wax peppers by name. Instead, districts are procuring comprehensive fresh produce portfolios that include peppers (bell peppers and others) alongside apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, leafy greens, tomatoes, and seasonal fruits. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat buyers including Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri). State departments of education and cooperative purchasing vehicles like the GEC Buying Cooperative also solicit under this code. Individual school districts typically issue RFPs or ITBs with July-to-June fiscal-year contracts, firm pricing for the contract term, Buy American compliance requirements, HACCP certification mandates, and line-item award structures allowing multiple vendors.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Liberty County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, Early County, and state-level procurements) and Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), with additional solicitation activity in Florida (Hillsborough County) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI). Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce due May 7, 2026 (emphasizing Texas-grown produce and USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance); Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program due March 11, 2026, requiring delivery of specialty fruits and vegetables to 18 elementary schools with approximately $600,000 estimated annual budget; Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally-grown produce (within 200 miles) due May 4, 2026, covering 24 produce items for a Farm to School program; and the Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 72 produce line items across 30 school districts due March 4, 2026, with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending. Most contracts require weekly or twice-weekly delivery between 6:00 AM and 2:30 PM, include provisions for price adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index reporting, and impose strict quality, food safety, and traceability standards. No solicitations in the recent-opportunities block name Hungarian wax peppers specifically, indicating the code assignment may reflect a general produce-category classification rather than commodity-specific demand.
