UNSPSC 50445532: Frozen poblano peppers

The variety of peppers known as poblano peppers that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50445532 Frozen poblano peppers (Commodity) does not appear in state and local procurement activity during the period covered by recent opportunities. The code's nominal scope — a specific frozen pepper variety — does not align with the products actually being solicited across the recent state and local contract opportunities, which focus instead on broader frozen vegetable assortments, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery categories spanning multiple product lines rather than single-item commodity purchases.

The recent opportunities reflect demand for frozen vegetables more generally among state corrections departments, school districts, and public health service agencies across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Virginia. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for frozen vegetable mixes and individual varieties (frozen corn, assorted blends, carrots, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower) with delivery to Salem; Texas Department of Criminal Justice procures frozen specialty entrees and mixed vegetable products through the Comptroller's statewide division; and school districts in Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri seek frozen produce as part of much larger commodity food contracts serving National School Lunch Programs. No recent opportunity specifically names frozen poblano peppers, and the available source materials do not identify this as an active line item in any pending state or local food service procurement.
