UNSPSC 50435537: Dried organic tepin peppers

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

UNSPSC 50435537 Dried organic tepin peppers is a Commodity code that captures dried specialty chile peppers used in institutional food service and commercial food preparation. The code shows limited direct procurement activity; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for dried organic tepin peppers or equivalent dried chile varieties. The single food-related procurement bearing this code—the City of Edinburg, Texas Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal service RFP—lists dried peppers only as a potential ingredient within a broader five-category food supply scope (beverages, paper goods, proteins and vegetables, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items) rather than as a line item or commodity focus. The scope of work under this code, where present, aligns with general dried spice and seasoning supply to school districts, correctional facilities, and state institutions; however, the recent opportunities block shows no dedicated solicitations targeting dried organic tepins or named chile pepper varieties, suggesting the code either falls outside current state and local procurement priorities or is tagged infrequently by issuing bodies that source such specialty items under broader commodity or produce categories.

The issuing bodies active in food procurement across the broader sourcing landscape—Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, school districts in Georgia and Missouri, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice—emphasize staple proteins, fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, and grains rather than specialty dried peppers. Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon based on recent school nutrition and institutional food service solicitations (City of Edinburg RFP2026017; Rockwood R-VI School District CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027; Muscogee County School System ITB 26-017; SCCPSS Bid 26-34; ODOC S2910000016233 and S2910000017140; FCPS IFB 2000004323). No representative recent opportunities specifically name or solicit dried organic tepin peppers as a commodity line item, indicating this code may serve a niche or underreported procurement function in current state and local government spending.
