UNSPSC 50455533: Frozen organic scotch bonnet peppers

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

UNSPSC 50455533 Frozen organic scotch bonnet peppers is a Commodity code that nominally designates a single produce line item, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show food service procurement for institutional meal programs, senior services, and school lunch operations rather than purchases of frozen scotch bonnet peppers specifically. Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, the State of Georgia's May 2026 bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products, and Early County Board of Education's June 2026 food bid for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools all carry this code despite their scope encompassing dozens of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and paper supplies rather than a single frozen pepper product. The mismatch suggests the code may be mistagged in the state and local procurement systems or serves as a catch-all for produce-adjacent food service procurement; the actual products being bought are broad-based institutional food inventories with delivery to schools, senior centers, and public facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with Gwinnett County (a large suburban county in metro Atlanta) and the State of Georgia itself posting major food service bids alongside an independent school district. Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) due October 19, 2026 targets shelf-stable items with F.O.B. Destination delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Georgia's May 2026 bid sought bids on food and kitchen products with full scope in an attached PDF; and Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line bid for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies required compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, $500,000 general liability insurance, and E-Verify, with awards approximately 60 days after bid opening and pricing firm for 15 days post-award.
