UNSPSC 50425522: Dried guerro peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425522 Dried guerro peppers, Commodity tier, addresses dried legumes and specialty dried foods for institutional meal programs, correctional facilities, and state food-service operations. State and local governments procure dried beans, peas, and related bulk staples under this code for prison kitchens, child and adult care food programs, school cafeterias, and state warehouse distribution. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state departments of agriculture, municipal and county child-care food programs, and state purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple institutional end users. Scope includes single-item solicitations for specific dried legumes (kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans) in bulk quantities, often with strict USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning requirements, and institutional-scale delivery specifications including palletization, shelf-life minimums, and FOB destination terms.

Recent opportunities cluster in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (Solicitation S2910000017705, bids due June 19, 2026), with a 10 percent Oregon-preference adder and a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound. The State of Oregon also requested bids on dried black beans triple-cleaned (Solicitation S2910000017140, due August 21, 2026) for institutional use. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, included dried beans and proteins as part of a broader Child and Adult Care Food Program meal-supply RFP (RFP2026-017, due August 4, 2026) serving approximately 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products including multiple dried-bean line items across five Texas geographic areas (due May 4, 2026 after addendum extension). Pricing is typically all-inclusive with delivery, and awards are generally made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder or split across multiple vendors by line item.
