UNSPSC 50435521: Dried organic guajillo peppers

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

UNSPSC 50435521 Dried organic guajillo peppers is a Commodity code that covers dried chili peppers and related whole dried pepper products procured for institutional food service, meal programs, and bulk cooking operations. State and local governments buying under this code purchase dried peppers—most commonly through correctional systems, child and adult care food programs, school districts, and state departments of corrections—for large-scale meal preparation serving hundreds of daily recipients. The work involves sourcing triple-cleaned or similar food-grade dried peppers that meet USDA standards, FDA compliance requirements, and institutional nutritional specifications, with delivery typically on FOB destination terms to state warehouses or distribution centers and pricing structured as all-inclusive fixed rates incorporating transportation and fuel surcharges. Issuing bodies span state correctional departments, state institutional food-service divisions, municipal school meal programs, and county or city child and adult care food providers.
