UNSPSC 50435514: Dried organic ancho peppers

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

UNSPSC 50435514 Dried organic ancho peppers (Commodity) addresses dried legumes and specialty produce items sourced for institutional food service, though the recent state and local opportunities under this code center on dried beans—black beans, pinto beans, red beans, and kidney beans—rather than ancho peppers specifically. State and local governments procure these items in bulk for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, educational institutions, and state agency cafeterias. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, city governments, and correctional industries divisions, typically bundling dried legumes with broader food-supply contracts or purchasing them as standalone commodities for high-volume institutional meal preparation. The work spans specification compliance (USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning requirements, moisture and foreign-material thresholds), bulk delivery logistics (palletization, FOB destination, FOB warehouse terms), and food-safety certification (FDA, USDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice).

Recent opportunities cluster in Oregon and Georgia, with additional activity in Texas and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, offering a combined 10% preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered bidders, with historical pricing at $0.493 per pound and a 45-day delivery window to Salem. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026, for institutional use across state agencies and educational institutions. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags, due October 9, 2026, requiring all-inclusive delivered pricing with no separate freight reimbursement. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted broader food-service RFPs and IFBs that include dried beans as line items within larger procurement efforts. The code shows active, distributed demand across correctional and institutional buyers with clear specification and logistics requirements.
