UNSPSC 50435517: Dried organic cayenne peppers

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

UNSPSC 50435517 Dried organic cayenne peppers is a Commodity code. The code shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. Of thirteen recent opportunities tagged to this code, only one — the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) — involves a dried legume product with any substantive overlap to the nominal code scope. The remaining twelve opportunities span fresh produce procurement, grocery supply contracts for school nutrition and correctional food service, and broad cafeteria food products across multiple item categories, none of which specifically target dried organic cayenne peppers or dried spices. The code's abstract definition does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying under it in current solicitations.

State and local buyers appear to be using this code as a catch-all taxonomy bucket for food procurement rather than a precision marker for dried specialty spices. The issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement offices (Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and a regional cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative). Geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois. Unless your firm supplies dried organic cayenne peppers as part of a broader food-service distribution or cooperative purchasing vehicle, this code warrants close evaluation of actual RFP language before pursuing; tagging alone does not confirm genuine demand for the commodity itself.
