UNSPSC 50425508: Dried korean peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425508 Dried Korean peppers, a Commodity code, shows no recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The ten most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span fresh produce, bulk dried beans, cafeteria food products, and general grocery supply for school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs—none of which specifically solicits dried Korean peppers or any other Korean specialty ingredient. The one opportunity explicitly naming a dried commodity (Oregon Department of Corrections, ITB S-29100-00016233, March 2026) solicited dried pinto and red beans; a second (ODOC, ITB S2910000017140, June 2026) again solicited dried pinto and red beans. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas solicit fresh produce, milk, beverages, and standard cafeteria staples; none of the opportunities recovered identifies Korean peppers or imports from East Asian suppliers as part of their scope.

State and local procurement under codes adjacent to this one reflects institutional food service demand—child nutrition programs, school lunch operations, correctional-facility feeding, and public-employee cafeteria service. The issuing bodies are state departments of corrections (Oregon), state education agencies (Georgia), school districts (Fairfax County Virginia, Rockwood Missouri, Muscogee County Georgia, Savannah-Chatham Georgia, Douglas County Georgia), and municipal child-care operators (City of Edinburg Texas). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts and cooperative buying groups), Texas (TDCJ, municipal CACFP), Oregon (DOC), Missouri (school district), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Opportunities typically award on lowest responsive bid or best value, require firm fixed pricing F.O.B. destination, mandate USDA or Buy American compliance, and run annual contract terms July through June aligned with the school calendar. The code's nominal scope—dried Korean peppers—does not align with the institutional food-service commodity profile that state and local governments actually source in this region.
