UNSPSC 50435518: Dried organic cherry hots peppers

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

UNSPSC 50435518 Dried organic cherry hot peppers, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity appearing in recent opportunity records. The source contains thirteen recent state and local solicitations spanning food service, produce, and grocery supply across multiple issuing bodies—school districts, corrections departments, and municipalities—yet none of them explicitly reference dried organic chile peppers or any commodity matching this code's specific scope. The opportunities instead focus on fresh produce (apples, bananas, leafy greens, eggs), dried staple legumes (pinto and red beans), proteins, dairy, and broad grocery categories for institutional meal programs and food service operations. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity and the actual solicitation records suggests this code captures little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The recent opportunities solicited across Texas (Edinburg, TDCJ warehouse distribution, Rockwood School District), Georgia (Douglas County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, and Georgia Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools) emphasize volume institutional purchasing of fresh and frozen staples rather than specialty dried peppers. Representative solicitations include the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) requesting beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for 400 children; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) covering 382 line items of proteins, dairy, grains, and staples; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for weekly grocery delivery to 45 schools. No recent state or local opportunity has solicited dried organic cherry hot peppers as a line item or specification.
