UNSPSC 50425529: Dried peperoncini peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425529 Dried peperoncini peppers (Commodity) does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities in this category span fresh produce, broad grocery supply (proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and staples), eggs, and dried commodity beans — but not peperoncini peppers or similar specialty items. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Muscogee County School District), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller, Illinois, and Georgia), and one municipality (City of Edinburg, Texas supporting a Child and Adult Care Food Program). This mix reflects the institutional food-service procurement landscape where nutrition programs drive volume spending.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Texas (TDCJ, City of Edinburg, and school suppliers), Oregon (corrections department), Illinois, and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026), the Texas Comptroller's IFB for cafeteria food products serving TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026 via Addendum No. 2), the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts via the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two). Peperoncini peppers are not among the commodity categories actively solicited under this code in recent state and local opportunities.
