UNSPSC 50415532: Organic poblano peppers

The variety of organic peppers known as organic poblano peppers

UNSPSC 50415532 Organic poblano peppers, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce items that state and local governments procure for food service operations across parks, schools, health-care facilities, and institutional dining. Recent solicitations reveal that this code captures demand for fresh vegetables and fruits as components of broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone specialty-item purchases. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county parks departments, school districts, health-care coalitions, and state procurement offices. The work involves sourcing fresh produce to meet operational needs—whether for concession operations at regional parks, school lunch and breakfast programs, or health-care facility food service—with compliance requirements including food safety standards, delivery scheduling, product freshness guarantees, and in some cases domestic sourcing preferences.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and jurisdictions. Collier County (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate in October 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025, requiring vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options including fresh produce across multiple park venues. Marion Health Care Coalition (location not specified in the source) posted a produce-proposals solicitation on August 7, 2026 with responses due August 21, 2026, seeking qualified produce vendors for the 2026-2027 contract period with delivery according to operational schedules. The State of Georgia issued a bid request on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with sourcing often embedded in multi-item food-service contracts rather than as standalone organic-produce procurements.
