UNSPSC 50445505: Frozen cubanelles peppers

The variety of peppers known as cubanelles peppers that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50445505 Frozen cubanelles peppers is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy frozen specialty pepper products under this code to support institutional food service operations, primarily in correctional facilities, school districts, and state health and human services agencies. Recent solicitations show that actual procurement activity under this code is minimal; the available opportunities record frozen corn, frozen mixed vegetables, fresh produce, and assorted grocery items—but no recent cubanelles pepper solicitations appear in the sample. The code's nominal scope (cubanelles peppers specifically) diverges notably from the predominant frozen-vegetable and grocery procurement activity observed across state and local buyers in the dataset.

State and local frozen-vegetable procurement spans correctional systems (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Montgomery County Pennsylvania), school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Schools, multiple Georgia school districts), and health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple recent ITBs for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, ITB S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026), frozen potatoes (120,000 pounds, ITB S2910000017439, due July 24, 2026), and frozen assorted vegetables (ITB S2910000016558, due April 22, 2026)—all offering a combined ten percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including frozen products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million (IFB HHS0016792V2, response deadline March 19, 2026). School districts uniformly require frozen vegetables and specialty items to meet Child Nutrition Act standards, Buy American provisions, and HACCP compliance, with contracts spanning July 2026 through June 2027 and renewal options extending through 2028 or beyond. Geographic concentration in recent activity appears strongest in Georgia (multiple school systems), Oregon (ODOC), Texas (TDCJ, HHSC), and Pennsylvania (Montgomery County), with secondary activity in Missouri (Rockwood School District), Illinois, and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). The code shows no recent dedicated cubanelles-pepper solicitations; vendors pursuing this code should assess whether current market demand aligns with the broader frozen-vegetable and specialty-produce categories actually being procured.
