UNSPSC 50425507: Dried kapia peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425507 Dried kapia peppers, a Commodity code, shows little recent state and local activity matching the nominal product category. The sole recent opportunity posted under this code—Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026)—procures a different dried legume entirely, not kapia peppers. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual solicitation suggests either tagging error or that state and local procurement offices rarely or never solicit kapia peppers under this specific commodity classification. The broader context of recent legume and institutional food solicitations shows robust activity in dried beans across multiple states and issuing bodies, but no evidence that kapia peppers—a specialty pepper variety—currently appear in state and local institutional food procurement.

Recent activity in related dried-commodity codes demonstrates strong institutional demand for bulk legumes and food supplies. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the City of Edinburg Texas, and the State of Georgia collectively posted multiple RFQs and IFBs between May and October 2026 for dried pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, and comprehensive cafeteria food products, with response dates ranging from June through October 2026. These solicitations reflect steady procurement across correctional systems, child care food programs, and state agencies, typically with delivery requirements, USDA grade compliance mandates, and inclusive pricing structures. The absence of kapia-pepper solicitations in recent Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois state and local activity suggests this code either sees negligible procurement volume or the commodity is sourced under different codes or category consolidations.
