UNSPSC 50435507: Dried organic kapia peppers

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

UNSPSC 50435507 Dried organic kapia peppers, a Commodity code, nominally covers specialty dried peppers; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with organic kapia peppers specifically. Instead, the opportunities solicited span institutional food procurement for state correctional systems, child and adult care food programs, and educational institutions, with products ranging from kidney beans and black beans to multi-category cafeteria supplies. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Georgia, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), the City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois all appear as issuing bodies, along with one education-focused program. The work involves bulk food supply for institutional meal services, typically encompassing commodity dried goods, frozen entrees, proteins, dairy, grains, and supporting kitchen supplies. Delivery requirements are strict—often daily and before noon—with FOB destination pricing, palletization standards, and compliance with USDA, FDA, HACCP, and state agricultural regulations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026 and S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026, as an IFB) with a 10% state-of-origin evaluation preference and a historical purchase price of $0.493 per pound. The State of Georgia issued a broad food-supplies RFQ (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) and Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) with delivery in 880-bag increments. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procured through the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026 after addendum extension, originally April 21, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily under RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026) with Texas local-vendor preference within 5% of lowest bid. The code shows no recent organic kapia pepper procurement and appears misaligned with the actual commodity mix being bought.
