UNSPSC 50435503: Dried organic cheese peppers

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

UNSPSC 50435503 Dried organic cheese peppers (Commodity) addresses a narrow product category within state and local institutional food procurement, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for dried organic cheese peppers. Instead, state and local governments are actively soliciting dried beans—pinto, red, black, and kidney beans—for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and broader institutional food service. The code's nominal scope diverges from what is actually being purchased under it in current state and local postings.

The issuing bodies soliciting under related dried-bean categories include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Georgia, Illinois), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Oregon), city governments (Edinburg, Texas), and specialized state programs such as the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 (bids due June 19, 2026 through OregonBuys with 10% Oregon-preference evaluation), Georgia Correctional Industries requesting kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026 (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027), and the City of Edinburg requesting food and nonfood items including dried beans for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051). Activity concentrates in Oregon and Georgia, with secondary postings in Texas and Illinois. The code shows little relevant recent activity as tagged; state and local procurement offices are classifying dried-bean solicitations under this commodity code despite the explicit "organic cheese pepper" specification.
