UNSPSC 50425528: Dried pasilla peppers

The variety of peppers known as pasilla peppers that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425528 Dried pasilla peppers is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying institutional dried beans — pinto, black, kidney, and other varieties — for bulk food service and meal programs in correctional facilities, schools, and child-care settings. The code's nominal scope (pasilla peppers) does not align with recent procurement activity, which centers entirely on dried legumes for institutional cooking rather than specialty chile peppers. Issuing bodies include state correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Correctional Industries, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state food-procurement divisions (Georgia, Illinois), and municipalities administering child and adult care meal programs. Most recent solicitations specify triple-cleaned beans meeting USDA No. 2 or better grade standards, FDA and HACCP compliance, palletized delivery to institutional distribution centers, and firm all-inclusive pricing incorporating transportation and fuel surcharges with no separate line-item freight reimbursement.

Recent activity clusters in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid (S2910000017705) in August 2026 for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, and a second bid (S2910000017140) in June 2026 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, due June 19, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers and a historical unit price of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans (92100ERFQ0020612027) in October 2026 with delivery in 880-bag increments, due October 9. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 in August 2026 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program covering beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and a due date of August 4. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts in May 2026 covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products and staples for six TDCJ distribution points statewide, extended to May 4. Illinois solicited weekly food orders (27497DVAQUINCB52821) in June 2026, due June 26. No recent opportunities directly match the pasilla-pepper commodity; the code shows little relevant recent activity relative to the actual procurement of dried beans.
