UNSPSC 50435527: Dried organic mirasol peppers

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

UNSPSC 50435527 Dried organic mirasol peppers is a Commodity code that captures specialty dried pepper products for institutional food service. State and local opportunities under this code show minimal recent dedicated activity; most references appear incidental to broader food procurement. The single opportunity explicitly tagged to dried peppers is the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) bids for dried pinto and red beans—a related commodity, not mirasol peppers specifically. Most recent state and local solicitations in the food-service space target fresh produce (apples, bananas, leafy greens, peppers), prepared entrees, proteins, and staple grocery items for school districts, corrections facilities, and child nutrition programs rather than specialty dried chili peppers. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with active solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County school systems (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); state corrections departments (Oregon, Texas) and state procurement offices (Illinois, Georgia) round out the buyer base. The code shows negligible current market focus in the recent-opportunities block; dried mirasol peppers do not appear in any named solicitation scope, suggesting the commodity sits outside mainstream state and local institutional food purchasing.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Texas, Virginia, and Oregon based on the representative recent opportunities. No recent solicitations explicitly request dried organic mirasol peppers. The most proximate opportunities—ODOC's dried pinto and red beans (Oregon, ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) and broader grocery-item procurements for school nutrition and corrections food service (Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products, RFP 304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026)—demonstrate that institutional buyers do acquire dried goods but predominantly focus on commodity staples (beans, rice, pasta) rather than specialty peppers. The code appears underutilized or misapplied in state and local procurement systems; vendors should verify whether mirasol peppers are substituting under generic dried-vegetable or specialty-condiment codes in actual buyer requisitions before allocating pursuit resources.
