UNSPSC 50445536: Frozen tai peppers

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

UNSPSC 50445536 Frozen tai peppers, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source records show no solicitations specifically seeking frozen tai peppers; instead, state and local buyers are soliciting frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, frozen assorted-blend vegetables, and fresh produce through ITB, IFB, and RFP notices. The category name itself signals a narrow product line—a specific chili pepper variety—yet state and local procurement offices do not appear to source this item in the documented opportunities.

The geographic and issuing-body mix in the source spans multiple states and institution types: Oregon Department of Corrections and state agencies in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Connecticut; school districts in Decatur, Fairfax County, and multiple Georgia counties; and transit or municipal bodies in Bridgeport. The volume of activity clusters in school-nutrition procurement (driven by National School Lunch Program requirements) and correctional-facility food service, where frozen vegetables are commodity purchases for meal preparation at scale. None of the recent opportunities identify frozen tai peppers as a line item or specification, and no vendor quotes, awards, or historical pricing reference this product. The code shows little if any actionable recent state and local activity.
