UNSPSC 50425526: Dried long hot peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425526 Dried long hot peppers (Commodity) sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. While the code nominally identifies a specific dried pepper variety, the recent opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that narrow scope; instead, they reflect broad-based food service procurement across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations that encompass hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and supplies. The actual buying pattern under this code appears to be schools, school districts, state departments of corrections, and state nutrition agencies soliciting comprehensive meal-service supply contracts where dried long hot peppers, if procured at all, represent a minor commodity line item buried within much larger food supply portfolios.

State and local issuing bodies active under this code include Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the State of Illinois, the State of Georgia, and the City of Edinburg (Texas). Recent representative solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 to supply 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with firm fixed pricing through June 30, 2027 (due April 27, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District issuing an IFB for over 900 grocery line items with electronic bids due April 29, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00016233 for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026); and the City of Edinburg, Texas issuing RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal-program supplies serving 400 children with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 (due August 4, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon; the code shows no evidence of procurement activity in most other states.
