UNSPSC 50435530: Dried organic pequin peppers

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

UNSPSC 50435530 Dried organic pequin peppers is a Commodity code, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity directly aligned with this specific product. State and local governments soliciting under or near this code are instead procuring dried beans in bulk — kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans — for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and child care programs. Georgia Correctional Industries has posted RFQs for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned and palletized, with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, has issued an IFB covering roughly 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse distribution points. These procurements reflect standard institutional bulk-food purchasing: USDA grade compliance, specific moisture and contamination thresholds, palletization or bagging requirements, FOB destination delivery, and firm all-inclusive pricing that incorporates freight and fuel surcharges.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with the issuing bodies spanning state departments of corrections, state procurement offices acting on behalf of criminal justice agencies, and municipal entities managing child and adult care food programs. The Oregon ODOC procurement noted a historical purchase price of $0.493 per pound in August 2025 from incumbent Intersect USA and permits partial-quantity bids (50–100 percent of requested volume); the Texas TDCJ IFB, extended via addendum to May 4, 2026, awards by single vendor per line item and permits price adjustments after the initial contract term (through August 31, 2027) based on manufacturer price-list changes. Evaluation criteria across these solicitations weight cost heavily, with secondary consideration for compliance history, delivery performance, and product quality. The code shows little recent solicitation activity for dried organic pequin peppers specifically; the recent state and local opportunities center on commodity dried beans for high-volume institutional meal service rather than specialty or organic pepper products.
