UNSPSC 50455517: Frozen organic cayenne peppers

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

UNSPSC 50455517 Frozen organic cayenne peppers (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within the broader food procurement activity of state and local school districts and public agencies. The recent opportunities block does not contain solicitations specifically for frozen organic cayenne peppers or other specialty frozen peppers; instead, the posted opportunities span general food service procurement for school nutrition programs—fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, dairy, and prepared entrees bundled into larger line-item or lot-based contracts. State and local governments do procure specialty food inputs as components of child nutrition and food service operations, but the available record shows no dedicated solicitations isolated to this commodity. The issuing bodies active in food procurement include county school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), independent school districts (Dallas Independent School District), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia), with school nutrition programs driving the bulk of visible activity.

Recent procurement across the broader food category reflects heavy concentration in Georgia (State of Georgia, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and lesser activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District) and Texas (Dallas Independent School District). Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's RFP for school lunch and breakfast items (due June 8, 2026), with line-item bidding across 300+ food products and strict requirements for HACCP plans, food recalls, and Buy American compliance; the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) with awards anticipated for contract periods through June 30, 2027; Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs to serve 30 cooperating districts (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas; and Dallas ISD's RFP for specialty food products not available through main commodity bids (due April 2, 2026). Frozen organic cayenne peppers, if offered, would likely appear as a specialty spice or ingredient within these larger food service contracts rather than as a standalone line item; the current market activity provides limited direct visibility into demand for this specific commodity in state and local procurement.
