UNSPSC 50455522: Frozen organic guerro peppers

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

UNSPSC 50455522 Frozen organic guerro peppers is a Commodity code that describes a single frozen produce item. Recent state and local solicitations show that this code sits within a much broader procurement category: school districts and state agencies are buying frozen and fresh produce as components of comprehensive food-service bids rather than as standalone frozen pepper line items. The Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid encompasses approximately 300 food items across meats, dairy, vegetables, and fruits; the City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods IFB requests comprehensive ranges of frozen grocery products meeting whole-grain and low-sodium standards; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery procurement spans over 900 line items including frozen vegetables and prepared entrees. The Douglas County School System's fresh produce RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative lists approximately 72 produce line items including peppers but does not isolate frozen guerro peppers as a distinct bid element. Issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System), state purchasing offices (Georgia's general food and fresh produce solicitations), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with contracts running July 1 through June 30 of the following year and serving national school lunch and breakfast programs.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. The Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce (SN 26-004) through the GEC Buying Cooperative covers 30 school districts across two geographic areas in Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. The City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with an IFB response deadline of May 15, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. EST for the 2026-2027 school year. The Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with questions due May 29, 2026 and bids due June 8, 2026. The Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri sought grocery items with electronic bid submissions due April 29, 2026 at 9:45 a.m. CDT. Dallas Independent School District issued an RFP on February 22, 2026 for various food products with a due date of April 2, 2026. The code shows no isolated frozen guerro pepper procurements; frozen peppers appear only as potential line items within larger produce or frozen-food aggregations.
