UNSPSC 50434117: Dried organic pepicha

The variety of organic herbs known as organic pepicha that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434117 Dried organic pepicha, a Commodity code, sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific dried vegetable product, but the recent opportunities tagged under it predominantly solicit broad grocery and food-service supplies for school nutrition programs, institutional meal services, and correctional facilities—categories that bear little connection to pepicha specifically. The few solicitations present span school districts, state departments of corrections, and municipal child nutrition programs across Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, but they are purchasing dried beans (pinto and red varieties), fresh produce, cafeteria staples, and miscellaneous grocery items rather than the specialized dried organic ingredient the code names.

The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope suggests that this Commodity code either is rarely used in state and local contracting or is being applied inconsistently by issuing bodies. No solicitation explicitly names pepicha or dried organic versions of it. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000016233 in March 2026 and S2910000017140 in June 2026), the City of Edinburg, Texas solicited a CACFP meal program supply contract in July 2026, and multiple school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Virginia issued RFPs or IFBs for fresh produce, grocery products, and food-service distribution. Evaluating business development potential under this code requires clarity from the issuing body on whether the code is being used as a catch-all for dried vegetable commodities or whether actual demand exists for the specific product pepicha nominally represents.
