UNSPSC 50435501: Dried organic ajies peppers

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

UNSPSC 50435501 Dried organic ajies peppers, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity in state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities tagged under this code center on broad-scope food supply contracts for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care services—encompassing fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria staples, and comprehensive grocery inventories rather than specialty dried pepper products. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state purchasing divisions (Illinois, Georgia), county school systems (Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Fairfax, Douglas, Rockwood), municipal child care programs (City of Edinburg), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple solicitations for master grocery contracts and fresh produce supply across elementary, middle, and high school campuses.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia based on the most recent postings. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg, Texas RFP 2026017 (Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supply due August 4, 2026) serving 400 children daily with a five-category supply scope covering beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items under local-vendor preference; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016233 (dried pinto beans, 127,500 pounds, due March 20, 2026) at $0.43 per pound historical pricing with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (Master Grocery K-12, due April 27, 2026) supplying 45 schools plus distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries; and Rockwood R-VI School District (Grocery Items 2026-2027, due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, meats, and prepared entrees. The code exhibits mismatch between its nominal scope (dried ajies peppers) and the breadth of food supply categories actually being procured; pursuit should focus on the demonstrated activity—comprehensive food distribution contracts for institutional nutrition programs—rather than expecting specialty pepper demand.
