UNSPSC 50415527: Organic mirasol peppers

The variety of organic peppers known as organic mirasol peppers

UNSPSC 50415527 Organic mirasol peppers, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity specifically targeting this product. The code's narrow scope—a single pepper variety—contrasts sharply with the broad fresh-produce solicitations currently posted by state and local buyers, which request mixed seasonal produce baskets rather than individual specialty items.

State and local governments are actively procuring fresh produce for school nutrition programs across multiple jurisdictions in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, but they are bundling produce into comprehensive line-item bid packages that span dozens of fruits, vegetables, and complementary food items. The mix of issuing bodies includes school districts of varying sizes (McAllen ISD serving 20,000 students, Northside ISD in San Antonio, Bulloch County and Douglas County school systems), county school boards, state departments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). Representative recent solicitations include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce due May 7, 2026; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food and produce bid due June 8, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined. Buyers emphasize USDA compliance, HACCP certification, domestic sourcing and Buy American preferences, temperature-controlled delivery within narrow time windows, and produce meeting freshness and quality standards without artificial additives. Georgia dominates recent posting activity, followed by Texas and Missouri, reflecting heavy school-lunch-program procurement in those states. Organic mirasol peppers do not appear in any of the recent solicitations examined, which focus instead on commodity staples—apples, bananas, carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, and melons—and prepared or pre-cut produce items for institutional food service. This code presents minimal near-term opportunity unless a specialty-produce buyer or a direct-to-institution distributor identifies an opening within a larger produce or specialty-foods RFP.
