UNSPSC 50425511: Dried yellow chile peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425511 Dried yellow chile peppers is a Commodity code that frames institutional bulk procurement of dried legumes and specialty food ingredients for state and local corrections, food service, and child nutrition programs. The recent opportunities block shows active sourcing for dried beans—kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties—across corrections departments, educational institutions, and child-care food programs rather than dried yellow chile peppers specifically. State and local buyers under this code family are purchasing bulk staple ingredients for institutional meal preparation, with specifications emphasizing food-safety compliance, USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning requirements, and delivery into centralized distribution networks. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominate the recent activity, each managing high-volume procurement for incarcerated populations. The City of Edinburg, Texas, represents school-district and municipal child-nutrition purchasing. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state purchasing offices coordinating on behalf of criminal justice agencies, state departments of agriculture, and local governments administering federal child-nutrition programs.

Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and South. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two solicitations—S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026, and S2910000017705 for dried black beans due August 21, 2026—both specifying triple-cleaned, U.S. No. 2 or better grade beans, FOB destination to Salem, Oregon, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers. Georgia Correctional Industries issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive pricing and electronic PDF submission. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, and vegetables across five Texas warehouse locations, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal supply on August 11, 2026, with local-vendor preference and daily delivery required to serve approximately 400 children ages 1–18, comprising five supply categories: beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items. The Illinois IVHQ quarterly food order (solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) and Georgia's broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) indicate demand across state correctional and institutional networks, though the code shows limited activity tagged to dried yellow chile peppers directly.
