UNSPSC 50425506: Dried fresno peppers

The variety of peppers known as fresno peppers that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425506 Dried fresno peppers, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged with this code involve staple dried beans (pinto and red), fresh produce, grocery items for school nutrition and correctional-facility food service, and master grocery contracts — none of which center on dried fresno peppers specifically. The code's nominal scope diverges sharply from procurement activity, suggesting either misclassification in the data or a code that captures dried peppers as an incidental line item within broader food-supply contracts rather than as a distinct procurement focus.

The recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois, Georgia, and Missouri) and county/school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, City of Edinburg) soliciting food supplies via RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB vehicles. Geographic activity spans Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026), the Texas Comptroller's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products across TDCJ warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District's March 2026 solicitation for grocery items covering over 900 line items for 2026-27 (due April 29, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to dried fresno peppers as a standalone procurement focus.
