UNSPSC 50425538: Dried panca chili pepper

Variety of chili peppers known as dried panca chili pepper which has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425538 Dried panca chili pepper is a Commodity code that does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source contains no solicitations for dried panca chili peppers; instead, the recent opportunities show state and local governments procuring broad food supply contracts for school nutrition programs, institutional food services, and general grocery items. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or that dried panca chili pepper is not a material category in current state and local food procurement. Activity under this code should not be pursued based on the available market signals.

The opportunities sourced under this code span school districts, state agencies, and municipal governments across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia, with a strong concentration in K-12 school nutrition programs. Representative solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) seeking grocery supply across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services in Missouri's procurement of over 900 grocery line items for the 2026-27 school year (bid due April 29, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' bids for dried pinto and red beans totaling approximately 42,500 pounds (ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026); and Fairfax County's City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP Meal Program food and nonfood items contract (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026). These solicitations consistently emphasize domestic sourcing preferences, firm fixed pricing, delivery logistics, and compliance with USDA and food safety standards, but none identify dried chili peppers as a line item or commodity category being purchased.
