UNSPSC 50455525: Frozen organic jalapeno peppers

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

UNSPSC 50455525 Frozen organic jalapeno peppers is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable and frozen vegetable products sourced for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, senior services, and state-level food distribution. State and local governments procure frozen and fresh produce under this code primarily for school districts operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, county departments of community services operating senior nutrition initiatives, and state purchasing offices aggregating food supplies across multiple agencies. The work involves competitive bidding on produce meeting specific quality standards, often with line-item specification of brands or approved equivalents, delivery logistics with temperature or freshness requirements, and compliance with domestic sourcing preferences and USDA nutritional guidelines when applicable.

Recent activity shows school districts and county governments as the primary issuing bodies, with Georgia demonstrating consistent procurement volume across multiple jurisdictions. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 (RFQ, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including vegetables, fruits, and specialty products for school meal programs, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables in October 2026 (IWQ, due October 19, 2026) for the Department of Community Services. The State of Georgia itself posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid in May 2026 (IFB, due June 22, 2026) with scope details attached. Delivery requirements across solicitations emphasize weekday-only scheduling, rapid turnover (often 72 hours or less), temperature-controlled logistics where applicable, and F.O.B. destination pricing with inside delivery included.
