UNSPSC 50425514: Dried ancho peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425514 Dried ancho peppers is a Commodity code that covers institutional bulk dried bean and legume procurement for state correctional facilities, school meal programs, and other public food-service operations. State and local governments procure dried beans under this code to support large-scale meal preparation in correctional institutions, child and adult care food programs, and institutional dining. The scope includes triple-cleaned dried beans meeting USDA grading standards (typically Grade A or U.S. No. 2 or better), with strict moisture-content and foreign-material thresholds, and vendors typically deliver palletized shipments in bulk quantities—ranging from increments of 880 bags to tens of thousands of pounds—with all transportation and delivery charges included in pricing on an FOB-destination basis. Issuing bodies span state correctional departments, state procurement offices, cities administering federal nutrition programs, and school-based food services. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are repeat buyers under this commodity family, alongside municipal governments managing child and adult care food programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid on June 5, 2026 (IFB S2910000017140) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors; the historical price was $0.493 per pound.
