UNSPSC 50425519: Dried chiltecpin peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425519 Dried chiltecpin peppers, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this taxonomy entry in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve broad grocery and food service supply for schools, correctional facilities, child nutrition programs, and school districts — spanning dried beans, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and prepared entrees — but do not include dried chiltecpin peppers specifically. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and the goods state and local buyers are actually procuring under it.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), county and municipal school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), and city agencies (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026), the Texas Comptroller's IFB for cafeteria food products to multiple TDCJ warehouses across five geographic areas (extended to May 4, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), the Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for over 900 grocery line items for the 2026–27 school year (due April 29, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spending (due March 4, 2026). This code does not currently see actionable procurement activity aligned with dried chiltecpin peppers.
