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 whose scope does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the database. The six most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), institutional food service supply bundles (beverages, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and produce), and cafeteria food products for correctional and educational facilities — none of which are mirasol peppers or other specialty dried peppers. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominate the recent activity, all procuring staple dried legumes or broad food categories for bulk institutional use rather than specialized pepper products.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities centers on Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, reflecting procurement by state corrections departments, state procurement divisions serving multiple agencies, and municipal food service programs. Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026 (880-bag increments, all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight reimbursement); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 (triple-cleaned, U.S. No. 2 or better grade, FOB Salem with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered suppliers); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments due May 4, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity; mislabeling or broad categorization by posting jurisdictions appears to account for the connection.
