UNSPSC 50445526: Frozen long hot peppers

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

UNSPSC 50445526 Frozen long hot peppers is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source records show no solicitations for frozen long hot peppers specifically, and the opportunities posted under or near this code encompass frozen vegetables more broadly—frozen corn, frozen potato products, frozen assorted vegetables, and mixed vegetable blends—but not long hot peppers as a distinct line item. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, and other state and local agencies are actively soliciting frozen vegetable products, but long hot peppers remain absent from the recent record.

State and local procurement bodies are soliciting frozen vegetables as components of broader institutional food service contracts covering correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables including carrots, assorted blends, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, peas, and stir-fry blends; Texas HHSC and DSHS are procuring frozen specialty foods and produce for state hospitals and supported living centers; and school districts in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia are bidding comprehensive grocery contracts where frozen vegetables appear as line items within broader commodity families. The activity is concentrated in the West (Oregon) and South (Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania), with school district procurement spread across multiple states. If your firm supplies frozen peppers or specialty produce to institutional food service, monitor the broader frozen vegetable opportunities posted by state corrections departments and state health and human services agencies, as these bodies regularly issue solicitations that may accommodate peppers if reformulated as part of vegetable blends or specialty offerings—but track the codes for frozen vegetables more generally (UNSPSC 50445500 class level) rather than this narrow commodity code, which shows no current transactional activity.
