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 with little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally targets a single agricultural commodity — dried yellow chile peppers — but the recent opportunities in the source reflect broad food service procurement across grains, proteins, produce, and packaged goods rather than chile peppers specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for dried beans (pinto and red) in March and June 2026, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products in May 2026, and school districts in Missouri, Georgia, Virginia, and Texas have issued RFPs and IFBs for grocery items and fresh produce. State and local buyers under related food-service codes span corrections departments, state agencies, large school districts, and municipal food service programs.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division issued ITB S2910000017140 for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, requiring triple-cleaned beans meeting U.S. No. 2 or better standards, FOB destination to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem within 45 days of order, with a 10 percent evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered bidders. The Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri, solicited bids for over 900 grocery line items for child nutrition services for July 2026 through June 2027 (NUTRIKIDS electronic filing required, bids due April 29, 2026). Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools plus distribution centers, due April 27, 2026, requiring a minimum three years of business and food delivery experience and bidding on at least 76 items. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP2026017 for CACFP meal program supplies (beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, nonfood items) serving approximately 400 children ages 1–18 daily, due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 (5 percent price preference for Edinburg vendors). The code shows no specific recent solicitations for dried yellow chile peppers; activity clusters around general grocery and produce procurement where chile peppers, if purchased, would be bundled with other commodities rather than procured as a standalone line item.
