UNSPSC 50425534: Dried serrano peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425534 Dried serrano peppers, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally addresses a specific dried chile pepper variety, but the recent opportunities posted under it consist primarily of broad-based food service and school nutrition procurement — fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria supplies, and master grocery contracts — that do not target serrano peppers as a line item or category. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity definition and the actual solicitations tagged to it suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that dried serrano peppers are purchased as part of larger food-service frameworks rather than as standalone requisitions.

The few opportunities posted under this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County systems in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), and municipal bodies (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products across five distribution areas (due May 4, 2026, later extended via addendum to May 4, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026); and Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 bid for grocery items spanning over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026). No opportunities specifically identify dried serrano peppers as a requisitioned item.
