UNSPSC 50425533: Dried scotch bonnet peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425533 Dried scotch bonnet peppers is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement records show little relevant recent activity under this code. The six most recent opportunities tagged to this code solicited dried kidney beans, dried black beans, dried pinto and red beans, and broader cafeteria food products — none of which are scotch bonnet peppers or specialty produce aligned with the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or that the code does not reflect actual state and local procurement demand for this item.

The tagged opportunities originate from Georgia Correctional Industries, the City of Edinburg Texas, the State of Oregon, the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice — representing state agencies, municipalities, and institutional food-service programs across the South and Pacific Northwest. Activity clusters in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with due dates ranging from June through October 2026. Representative solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans (880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans at $0.493 per pound (prior incumbent pricing, due June 19, 2026), and the City of Edinburg's RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies including dried beans and staple foods for 400 children daily (due August 4, 2026, with a 5% local-vendor preference under Texas law). The focus across all tagged records is bulk institutional food procurement for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and child-care meal services — not specialty peppers.
