UNSPSC 50435532: Dried organic poblano peppers

The variety of organic peppers known as organic poblano peppers that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50435532 Dried organic poblano peppers is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of dried beans and legumes for institutional food service — a scope that diverges from the code's nominal name. Recent opportunities show state correctional agencies, school districts, and other public food-service operations soliciting dried kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and similar bulk staples for cafeteria and meal-program use, typically in quantities of thousands of pounds or hundreds of bags delivered on FOB or all-inclusive pricing terms. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominate recent activity under this code, each seeking large-volume institutional supplies with strict specifications for grading, triple-cleaning, packaging, and shelf-life standards. Issuing bodies span state correctional and purchasing departments, municipal school districts or food-service authorities, and specialized state food-procurement divisions; these entities treat dried legumes as commodity input for bulk kitchen operations rather than finished goods.

The code shows concentrated recent activity in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for 880-bag kidney-bean deliveries with an October 9, 2026 response date; the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans via OregonBuys (bids due June 19, 2026) with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors and a historical reference price of $0.493 per pound; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products including dried beans across five geographic distribution areas (response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois also posted food-supply solicitations in the recent window, though the Illinois posting lacked detailed scope specificity. Delivery requirements emphasize FOB destination, palletization standards, FDA and USDA compliance, and all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight reimbursement; response lead times typically range from one to three weeks.
