UNSPSC 50435535: Dried organic tabasco peppers

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

UNSPSC 50435535 Dried organic tabasco peppers is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity at the state and local level. The recent state and local opportunities dataset contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried organic tabasco peppers or functionally equivalent spice products. The sole opportunity nominally tagged to this code — the City of Edinburg, Texas, CACFP Meal Program RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) — solicits a broad range of food and nonfood items for child nutrition services, including vegetables, fruits, proteins, and condiments, but does not identify tabasco peppers or hot peppers as a line item in the stated scope. The remaining tagged opportunities span dried beans (Oregon Department of Corrections), general grocery items (Illinois, Georgia, Texas), fresh produce (Georgia, Missouri, school districts across multiple states), and cafeteria food products (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), none of which reference this specific commodity.

State and local procurement under this code, if it occurs, would be embedded within larger institutional food-service contracts—school districts, corrections departments, and child nutrition programs—rather than sourced as a standalone specialty ingredient. The current opportunity dataset does not support measurable activity for dried organic tabasco peppers as a distinct procurement line, indicating either very low purchase frequency, aggregation into broader condiment or spice categories under different codes, or sourcing through cooperative purchasing agreements not surfaced in recent competitive solicitations. Firms considering this code should monitor school nutrition, corrections, and institutional foodservice RFPs for line items within spices, seasonings, or specialty ingredients categories, but should not expect to see dried organic tabasco peppers called out by name in state and local ITBs, RFPs, or RFQs.
