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, a Commodity code, does not reflect meaningful state and local procurement activity based on recent opportunities. The eight opportunities posted between January and July 2026 across state departments, school districts, and counties soliciting under or near this code taxonomy do not center on dried organic long hot peppers; instead, they target broad fresh produce, fresh-frozen proteins, dairy, grains, and staple grocery categories. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (ITB S2910000016233 in March 2026 and IFB S2910000017140 in June 2026, each seeking approximately 42,500 to 127,500 pounds), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Statewide Procurement Division solicited cafeteria food products across 382 line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and condiments, but none of these solicitations name dried long hot peppers as a line item. School districts in Missouri, Virginia, Georgia, and Texas are collectively procuring fresh produce, fresh eggs, and grocery items across hundreds of line items annually—Rockwood School District (Missouri) solicited over 900 grocery items; Fairfax County Public Schools sought a Master Grocery K-12 contract; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) solicited fresh produce and eggs through a cooperative buying vehicle serving 30 districts with estimated annual spend near $5.5 million—but pepper varieties and dried pepper products appear only incidentally, if at all, in the available bid scopes. The City of Edinburg, Texas, requested fresh fruits and vegetables as part of a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supply RFP due August 4, 2026, and the State of Illinois and State of Georgia each posted food supply solicitations in June and May 2026 with scopes not detailed in the source materials.

The code shows no concentrated geographic activity or repeat buying patterns specific to dried organic long hot peppers. Recent opportunities cluster in Texas (Edinburg, TDCJ statewide), Georgia (multiple school districts and the state procurement office), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Illinois (state), and Oregon (ODOC), but these jurisdictions are procuring general grocery and fresh produce categories under broader commodity codes, not targeting this specialty item. No vendor, contract value, set-aside designation, or award history related to dried organic long hot peppers appears in the available source materials.
