UNSPSC 50455528: Frozen organic pasilla peppers

The variety of organic peppers known as organic pasilla peppers that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50455528 Frozen organic pasilla peppers is a Commodity code. State and local school districts and food service authorities buy frozen specialty peppers under this code as components of broader fresh and frozen produce procurement for child nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show frozen peppers embedded within larger food-service contracts spanning hundreds of line items across fresh produce, frozen foods, and grocery categories rather than as standalone specialty-ingredient buys. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District—along with state procurement offices in Georgia managing food-service supply chains. A Georgia cooperative purchasing vehicle, the GEC Buying Cooperative, also solicits under produce codes on behalf of multiple school districts.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Missouri. The State of Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce (May 27, 2026 response date) and a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (June 22, 2026 response date) without itemized produce breakouts in the available summaries. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for 300+ food items including frozen vegetables for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 service (questions due May 29, 2026; bid due June 8, 2026), while City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with a May 15, 2026 sealed-bid deadline and July 1, 2026 contract start. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited over 900 grocery line items for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with electronic bids due April 29, 2026. Savannah-Chatham County Public School System procured 72 fresh produce items (bid opening April 23, 2026) and Dallas ISD requested various food products including specialty and non-commodity items (RFP due April 2, 2026). Douglas County School System issued a GEC Buying Cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 districts across two Georgia areas with March 4, 2026 proposal deadline and estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area. The code shows no standalone frozen-pasilla-pepper solicitations; frozen peppers appear only as minor line items within district-wide nutrition-services contracts emphasizing whole grains, low sodium, and domestic sourcing preferences.
