UNSPSC 50425508: Dried korean peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425508 Dried korean peppers is a Commodity code that covers specialty dried chile and pepper products for institutional food service and meal programs. However, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of Korean peppers or any form of peppers; instead, they show solicitations for dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), general cafeteria food products, and CACFP meal supplies spanning proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and janitorial items. The code's recent activity reflects a mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being bought, suggesting limited relevant procurement activity under the true commodity definition. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code classification include state corrections departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement offices (Oregon, Georgia, Illinois), and local education and food-service agencies (City of Edinburg, Texas Boys & Girls Club). Institutional food service for correctional facilities and child nutrition programs drives the bulk of the tagged opportunities.

The recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST through OregonBuys, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered suppliers, palletized FOB destination delivery to Salem within 45 days, and pricing that must include all transportation with no separate packing fees; the historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in increments of 880 bags due October 9, 2026 by RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027), with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet compliance requirements. The City of Edinburg, Texas issued RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies—beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items—serving approximately 400 children daily with daily Monday-Friday deliveries before noon and a local-vendor preference of 5% within City limits. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's office, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across approximately 382 line items (proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, canned and fresh produce) deliverable to six TDCJ distribution points statewide, with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Central Time and a contract term through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals.
