UNSPSC 50455534: Frozen organic serrano peppers

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

UNSPSC 50455534 Frozen organic serrano peppers, a Commodity code, describes frozen specialty peppers that state and local governments buy as components of broader food service procurement, predominantly through school nutrition programs and state food supply contracts. Recent opportunities show frozen peppers as line items within comprehensive fresh and frozen produce bids rather than as standalone procurements; the code captures a narrow product within the larger landscape of school meal preparation and state facility food provisioning. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state departments of education, with occasional state agency food service operations. The Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid, the City Schools of Decatur's Frozen Foods and Grocery IFB, the Rockwood R-VI School District's Grocery Items procurement, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Fresh Produce bid each incorporate frozen vegetables including peppers as line items within broader frozen and fresh produce categories; similarly, the Douglas County School System's RFP for Fresh Produce and Eggs and the Dallas Independent School District's various food products RFP include specialty produce items within their scope. State departments in Georgia have posted separate IFBs for fresh produce and frozen foods. The mix reflects school districts as the dominant buyer class, supported by selective state-level procurement for institutional food service.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary presence in Texas. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued its FY27 Food Bid due June 8, 2026, encompassing 300+ food items across produce and protein categories; the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) posted its IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) solicited fresh produce bids due April 23, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued a cooperative-purchasing RFP for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 districts, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million across both areas. The Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited grocery items due April 29, 2026, for over 900 line items supporting 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast daily participants. The Dallas Independent School District (Texas) posted an RFP for various food products due April 2, 2026. The State of Georgia issued IFBs for fresh produce and food supplies in May and April 2026. Frozen organic serrano peppers, if specifically solicited, would appear as a line item within these broader frozen-produce or specialty-ingredient categories rather than as a standalone award.
