UNSPSC 50425524: Dried hungarian wax peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425524 Dried hungarian wax peppers (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally names a specific dried pepper variety, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it procure kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and mixed cafeteria food products — none matching the narrow scope of dried Hungarian wax peppers. The opportunities do reveal the kinds of issuing bodies and work patterns that operate in the broader dried-bean and institutional-food-supply space: state correctional and agricultural departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), city food-service programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state-level meal-support procurement (Illinois, Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These buyers source dried legumes in bulk for institutional cooking — correctional facilities, school meal programs, and adult care food services — with specifications emphasizing USDA grading, triple-cleaning standards, food-safety compliance, and palletized delivery to central distribution points.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with secondary presence in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 RFQ for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bids due June 19, 2026), with a 10% Oregon-based vendor preference and FOB delivery to Salem; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (response deadline May 4, 2026, extended via addendum); Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026); and the City of Edinburg's August 2026 RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies including proteins, dairy, and fresh produce (responses due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas law). The code itself does not map cleanly to current procurement activity, suggesting misclassification in the state and local opportunity data or limited current demand for dried Hungarian wax peppers specifically.
