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 is a Commodity code that captures specialty produce items state and local governments source for food-service operations, senior services programs, and institutional meal provision. The recent opportunities solicited under this code show that state and local issuing bodies are purchasing shelf-stable and refrigerated food products for schools, county social services, and state institutional operations. The work encompasses supply of prepared meals, food-service ingredients, non-food kitchen supplies, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards and food-safety requirements including HACCP documentation, state milk certification, and food-recall procedures. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state government (State of Georgia), and independent school districts (Early County Board of Education), with school districts emerging as frequent buyers due to National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program funding and regulatory requirements.

Georgia dominates recent activity under this code, with three recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables, with delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center and quotes due October 19, 2026.
