UNSPSC 50435510: Dried organic melrose peppers

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

UNSPSC 50435510 Dried organic melrose peppers (Commodity) describes a specific peppers line item, but the recent state and local opportunities under this code show substantial misalignment: the five most recent solicitations involve dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, general food and kitchen products, and cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments — none of which are melrose peppers. State and local purchasing offices are using this code to solicit bulk institutional dried beans and multi-category food supplies for correctional facilities, schools, and state agencies rather than specialty pepper products. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), state procurement offices (Texas, Georgia), and municipal or district food services. When the nominal code scope and the actual solicitation activity diverge this sharply, the code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for melrose peppers specifically.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code originate in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans in June 2026 (S2910000017140, bids due June 19, 2026) with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered bidders and historical pricing of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans in October 2026 (92100ERFQ0020612027, bids due October 9, 2026) requiring delivery in 880-bag increments on an all-inclusive basis. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned, in August 2026 (S2910000017705, bids due August 21, 2026) for institutional use. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procured through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued a multi-category cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF, response extended to May 4, 2026) spanning 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous staples for distribution across six TDCJ warehouse locations. If melrose peppers are a target, this code does not reflect current state and local demand.
