UNSPSC 50425523: Dried habanero peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425523 Dried habanero peppers is a Commodity code that captures institutional bulk purchases of dried specialty peppers for correctional facilities, schools, and state agencies. State and local governments use this code to procure dried beans, legumes, and related protein staples for large-scale food service and meal programs—the recent opportunities show that issuing bodies are actually buying kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and mixed dried legumes rather than habaneros specifically. Issuing bodies span state correctional departments, state education agencies, city school food programs (Child and Adult Care Food Program participants), and state procurement offices buying on behalf of institutional kitchen operations. The procurement pattern reflects institutional food service at scale: Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the City of Edinburg (Texas), and the State of Illinois all solicit under or near this code for high-volume protein ingredients delivered to central distribution centers or individual facility kitchens.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and West. Oregon leads with two recent bids (Oregon Department of Corrections on approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, and the State of Oregon on dried black beans due August 21, 2026), both specifying triple-cleaned product and USDA grading standards with Oregon processing and headquarters preferences applied. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans with delivery in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026; the City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies (including dried beans and proteins) due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Invitation for Bid 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including proteins and staples, extended to May 4, 2026. The State of Illinois issued a weekly food order solicitation (FY-27 IVHQ quarterly Jul-Sept) due June 26, 2026. Institutional food-service procurement under this code emphasizes compliance with USDA and FDA standards, palletized FOB delivery to central distribution points, and firm all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight or fuel charges.
