UNSPSC 50455532: Frozen organic poblano peppers

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

UNSPSC 50455532 Frozen organic poblano peppers is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a single specialty produce item, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span broad food service procurement across multiple product categories—frozen and fresh produce, dairy, grains, proteins, condiments, and non-food kitchen supplies—rather than frozen organic poblano peppers specifically. School districts and state agencies are soliciting comprehensive food-service bids encompassing dozens or hundreds of line items for child nutrition and institutional feeding programs; the individual commodity classification does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local buyers are executing under this code designation.

The issuing bodies include state education agencies (Georgia Department of Education), county and district school systems (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). Recent opportunities posted between February and May 2026 span Georgia (Douglas County RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts, with responses due March 4, 2026; Early County Board of Education food and non-food bid due June 8, 2026; City Schools of Decatur frozen foods and grocery IFB due May 15, 2026; State of Georgia fresh produce IFB due May 27, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce bid due April 23, 2026), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items due April 29, 2026), and Texas (Dallas Independent School District various food products RFP due April 2, 2026). The mismatch between code title and actual procurement scope signals that this code's use in state and local systems may reflect taxonomy classification errors rather than genuine demand for frozen organic poblano peppers as a standalone commodity.
