UNSPSC 50415526: Organic long hot peppers

The variety of organic peppers known as organic long hot peppers

UNSPSC 50415526 Organic long hot peppers is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily school nutrition programs and school districts that source fresh produce for child nutrition services, including National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance. The code sees limited standalone activity; recent solicitations tag fresh produce procurements at the family or class level rather than at the commodity level for specific pepper varieties. When organic long hot peppers appear, they do so as line items within broader fresh-produce or grocery-item RFPs and IFBs, not as standalone procurements. School districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida are the primary buyers, with occasional state-level fresh-produce solicitations from Georgia Department of Education entities. Recent opportunities show school nutrition programs bundling dozens of produce line items—including fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and prepared items—in single annual contracts, with vendors expected to supply the full range at negotiated pricing rather than specialist items.

The Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a line-by-line food bid (RFQ, due June 8, 2026) encompassing approximately 300 food items across multiple categories alongside non-food supplies, with vegetables listed as one category among meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, fruits, and grains. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) solicited fresh produce for child nutrition across 138 campuses with USDA-compliant specifications, temperature-controlled delivery five days per week, and pricing tied to USDA Specialty Crops Terminal Markets Standard Reports. Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB, due April 29, 2026) requested sealed bids for produce and food products including specific vegetable line items alongside fruits and eggs, with weekly delivery to 13 schools and price redetermination scheduled for January 2027. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) solicited 72 fresh produce items with estimated annual quantities reaching 21,125 cases for single items, delivery to 60 school sites, and Net 40 payment terms. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (with solicitations from Bulloch County, Glynn County, and Liberty County school districts), Texas (McAllen, Austin, Northside San Antonio), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Florida (Hillsborough County). No recent solicitation specifically emphasizes organic certification or long hot peppers as a product line; the code's activity remains subsumed within institutional produce procurement for school food service.
