UNSPSC 50435516: Dried organic cascabel peppers

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

UNSPSC 50435516 Dried organic cascabel peppers is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve cascabel peppers or dried peppers of any variety. Instead, the solicitations cover dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), institutional food service products (beverages, paper goods, proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks, and janitorial supplies), and bulk cafeteria food products for correctional and educational institutions. Georgia Correctional Industries, the City of Edinburg Texas (Boys & Girls Club CACFP meal program), the State of Oregon, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all posted solicitations under this code in the past six months, but none align with the cascabel pepper commodity name. The mismatch indicates that either the code has been misapplied in the underlying procurement system or the opportunities are tagged incorrectly; the code shows little activity directly relevant to dried organic cascabel peppers as a discrete commodity.

Recent opportunities soliciting under this code include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans (due October 9, 2026) at 880-bag increments, the City of Edinburg's RFP for CACFP meal program supplies serving 400 children daily (due August 4, 2026) with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051, and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products IFB (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) covers 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments for distribution to multiple TDCJ warehouse locations. Activity spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois, with institutional foodservice and correctional supply representing the bulk of posted demand.
