UNSPSC 50445531: Frozen pimiento peppers

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

UNSPSC 50445531 Frozen pimiento peppers is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source data shows no active or recently posted solicitations tagged to this code. Instead, the most recent opportunities reference frozen vegetables more broadly—such as frozen corn, frozen potato products, and assorted frozen vegetable blends—or skip the code tier entirely and solicit grocery or food service items across multiple product lines without granular UNSPSC classification. The code's nominal scope is narrow and specialized relative to the purchasing patterns observed in state and local food service procurement, where institutional buyers tend to source frozen vegetables in bulk categories (carrots, broccoli, mixed blends, peas) rather than as single-vegetable specialty items.

State and local food service procurement activity in the frozen-vegetable space is driven primarily by correctional facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for frozen corn, frozen potatoes, and frozen assorted vegetables in recent months, with response dates in June and July 2026. School districts in Georgia and Virginia, Texas health and human services entities, and county correctional facilities in Pennsylvania are all active buyers of frozen produce, but solicitation language and line-item detail center on commodity blends, bulk vegetables, and ingredient staples rather than pimiento peppers as a distinct SKU. Award criteria across these opportunities emphasize price per pound or per unit, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, FOB destination delivery within 30 days, and maintenance of minimum six-month shelf life. If pimiento peppers are being purchased at all in this market segment, they are likely bundled into broader grocery or vegetable-blend line items and are not tracked separately in public solicitation data.
