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. State and local governments procuring under this code are sourcing institutional food supply for correctional facilities, child care programs, schools, and other state agencies—most often dried beans and legumes in bulk quantities for meal preparation. The recent opportunities show the code is being applied to a broader range of dried legumes than the code name alone suggests: Georgia Correctional Industries is bidding kidney beans in 880-bag increments, Oregon is procuring dried pinto and red beans for the Department of Corrections, and Texas is soliciting cafeteria food products spanning proteins, grains, and produce for the Department of Criminal Justice. The scope also encompasses food, beverages, and nonfood items (paper goods, janitorial supplies, insulated warmers) for institutional meal service, as evidenced by the City of Edinburg's CACFP procurement for 400 children daily. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas), state purchasing offices acting on behalf of institutional users, and municipal governments supporting child care and nutrition programs.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and West, with Georgia, Texas, and Oregon showing the most recent solicitations. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of TDCJ, released an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with response due May 4, 2026 after extension via addendum. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited CACFP meal program supplies (beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial and nonfood items) via RFP due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor preference applying to bids within 5% of lowest price under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Deliveries are typically required on tight schedules—daily before noon in school and care settings, palletized and FOB destination for correctional supply—and pricing must be all-inclusive with no separate freight or surcharge reimbursement.
