UNSPSC 50425532: Dried poblano peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425532 Dried poblano peppers is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, describes dried bean and legume procurement for institutional food service — including kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and related dried legumes used in cafeteria meal programs, correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agency kitchens. State and local governments procure these items in bulk, typically triple-cleaned to USDA No. 2 grade or better, meeting FDA and HACCP compliance standards for institutional cooking and meal preparation. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, municipal school districts and child care entities, and statewide procurement divisions acting on behalf of criminal justice and other state agency customers. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Illinois all appear as active buyers in the recent opportunity stream.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-manufactured or Oregon-headquartered bidders and pricing historically at $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, requiring all-inclusive delivery pricing with no separate freight reimbursement; and the State of Oregon solicited triple-cleaned dried black beans due August 21, 2026 for institutional use. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning diverse legume and protein categories across five geographic distribution points, with responses extended to May 4, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas posted RFP 2026-017 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal service covering food and nonfood items for approximately 400 children, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and a due date of August 4, 2026. Most solicitations require electronic bid submission, specify FOB destination delivery terms, demand FDA and USDA compliance documentation, and allow no separate freight recovery on pricing.
