UNSPSC 50425521: Dried guajillo peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425521 Dried guajillo peppers (Commodity) does not see active recent procurement from state and local governments based on the available contract opportunities. The code's nominal scope targets specialty dried chiles for institutional food service, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it are buying kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, general cafeteria food products, and CACFP meal-program supplies—none of which include guajillo peppers or comparable specialty dried peppers. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing body or a very thin market for this specific commodity among state and local buyers.

The recent opportunities show robust activity in dried-bean procurement across corrections departments and child-care food programs in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with issuing bodies including state correctional industries, departments of corrections, purchasing divisions, and municipal food-service programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Georgia Correctional Industries are repeat buyers of institutional-grade dried beans in bulk quantities (42,500 pounds and 880-bag increments, respectively), with firm specifications for triple-cleaned product, USDA grading standards, and palletized delivery. If your firm sells dried peppers or specialty dried chiles into state and local institutional kitchens, monitor UNSPSC 50425400 (Dried peppers and related commodity families) or verify issuing-body coding directly; this particular commodity code shows no actionable recent procurement signals.
