UNSPSC 50455531: Frozen organic pimiento peppers

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

UNSPSC 50455531 Frozen organic pimiento peppers is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, sits within a much broader food procurement activity spanning fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, and comprehensive grocery products for school nutrition programs and state operations. State and local governments buy under this code as part of line-item food service supply contracts that often bundle dozens or hundreds of food products—including frozen vegetables, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared items—into single RFPs or IFBs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (independent school districts, county school systems, and multi-district cooperatives) and state departments, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of visible recent activity. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, HACCP certification, food-recall procedures, Buy American provisions, and E-Verify compliance. Typical contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options extending one to three additional years, require firm pricing for the initial term with cost adjustments permitted only on documented USDA or CPI increases, and mandate delivery Monday through Friday during morning and early-afternoon windows to central warehouses or individual school sites.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and includes the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (approximately $9 million annually across 32 schools, due February 18, 2026), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for fresh produce covering 72 items and 60 school sites (due April 23, 2026), and the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items serving ten schools (due May 15, 2026). Outside Georgia, the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issued a grocery procurement encompassing over 900 line items serving roughly 19,000 students (due April 29, 2026), and Dallas Independent School District in Texas solicited various food products including spice and ice cream lots for its Child Nutrition Services (due April 2, 2026). The State of Georgia itself posted a general food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026) and a fresh produce IFB (due May 27, 2026). Frozen pimiento peppers would fall within line-item bids alongside dozens of other vegetable and produce offerings; the code shows no standalone frozen vegetable procurement activity, and business development should treat this as part of broader food-service distributor or specialty produce supplier relationships rather than as an isolated commodity line.
