UNSPSC 50455520: Frozen organic finger hot peppers

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

UNSPSC 50455520 Frozen organic finger hot peppers is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable and frozen produce items purchased by state and local food-service operations, including school districts, county social-services departments, and state procurement offices. State and local governments buy frozen organic peppers and related produce primarily to support institutional meal programs — school breakfasts and lunches, senior services nutrition initiatives, and emergency food distribution — where budget constraints and volume requirements drive specification around product form, organic certification, and unit pricing. The issuing bodies reflect the institutional food-service market: state procurement agencies, county boards of commissioners overseeing senior and community services, and school district boards of education managing child nutrition programs.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia, with three posted opportunities in the last five months. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, including canned vegetables and proteins for the Department of Community Services and senior programs; the quote requested "or approved equivalent" flexibility and F.O.B. Destination delivery to a single facility with 72-hour turnaround when possible. The State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies bid in May 2026 with June 22, 2026 response deadline, and the Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food and non-food products solicitation in May 2026 with June 8, 2026 response deadline, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain specifications, low-sodium formulations, and USDA compliance across approximately 300 food items and 60 supply items for the National School Lunch Program. The recent opportunities focus on volume purchasing with firm pricing, domestic preferences where applicable, food-safety documentation, and rapid delivery windows; frozen organic peppers as a single Commodity code show limited granular visibility in these broader food-service tenders.
