UNSPSC 50435526: Dried organic long hot peppers

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

UNSPSC 50435526 Dried organic long hot peppers is a Commodity code that covers specialty dried peppers and similar dried produce for institutional food service and commodity purchasing. State and local governments buy dried beans, peppers, and other staple dried produce under this code primarily through correctional facilities, child care and meal programs, and state educational institutions that source ingredients for bulk institutional cooking and meal preparation. The issuing bodies are concentrated among state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, municipal governments running child and adult care food programs, and state education agencies. Work solicited under the code includes large-volume procurement of USDA-graded dried commodities with specifications for moisture content, triple-cleaning standards, foreign-material thresholds, and shelf-life requirements suitable for high-volume institutional kitchens.
