UNSPSC 50425534: Dried serrano peppers

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

UNSPSC 50425534 Dried serrano peppers (Commodity) does not see recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans (due October 9, 2026) — is unrelated to serrano peppers and instead solicits a different dried-bean commodity. The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local agencies are buying institutional dried beans (pinto, red, black) in bulk quantities for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and other institutional food service, but no recent solicitations for dried serrano peppers or chili peppers appear in the current opportunities block.

Geographic activity under related dried-bean codes is concentrated in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas, where correctional agencies, school districts, and state procurement offices are issuing RFQs and IFBs for institutional dried-bean supplies. Bid cycles are typically tight (7–14 days to response) and delivery requirements are exacting: Oregon's June 2026 solicitation for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans required FOB destination delivery within 45 days, triple-cleaned beans at U.S. No. 2 or better grade, palletized shipment on four-way wooden pallets, and compliance with HACCP and FDA standards. Texas TDCJ's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple distribution points required firm, all-inclusive pricing and compliance with USDA grading. Buyers apply production-location and small-business preferences (Oregon's 10% combined preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon) and enforce strict specification compliance, often rejecting bids that use shorthand language like "comply" or checkmarks instead of detailed specification completion. If your firm offers dried chili or serrano peppers for institutional bulk use, the code's current posting shows negligible demand; however, the aggressive procurement cycles, compliance rigor, and institutional scale evident under related dried-bean codes signal a market worth monitoring for category expansion.
