UNSPSC 50425525: Dried jalapeno peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425525 Dried jalapeno peppers is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity in the source shows no direct solicitations for dried jalapeno peppers or any dried pepper products. The opportunities tagged under this code actually solicit broader food supply categories—fresh produce, cafeteria food products, grocery items, and school nutrition services—in which dried jalapenos may appear as a line item among dozens or hundreds of others, but none of the available solicitations isolate dried peppers as a distinct procurement focus or name them explicitly in scope summaries. The activity instead reflects large institutional food service contracts where dried jalapenos, if purchased at all, would be a minor component buried in master grocery or produce line-item lists rather than a standalone procurement driver.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food supply contracts include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Douglas County in Missouri and Georgia respectively, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County systems in Georgia), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP program). Geographic spread spans Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois based on recent postings from June through July 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for TDCJ cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026, covering 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments to six warehouse locations), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026, requiring minimum 76 items from school delivery section), and the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies (due August 4, 2026, covering beverages, paper goods, proteins, vegetables, and snacks for 400 children daily). The code shows low current relevance to vendors specializing in dried jalapeno peppers specifically; pursuit would require participating in large master grocery or produce contracts where dried peppers compete as one among hundreds of approved line items rather than as a focused commodity.
