UNSPSC 50465501: Canned or jarred ajies peppers

The variety of peppers known as ajies peppers that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465501 Canned or jarred ajies peppers is a Commodity code used sparingly by state and local food procurement offices, which acquire it primarily as a minor line item within broader food service contracts rather than as a standalone procurement focus. State and local governments do not appear to solicit canned or jarred ajies peppers as a dedicated commodity; instead, when the code appears, it is tagged to general food supply solicitations that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and prepared foods. The issuing bodies conducting food procurement across the recent opportunities include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state supported living centers and hospitals, and the State of Illinois for veterans home facilities), and correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School districts dominate the recent activity, issuing IFBs and RFPs for annual food contracts spanning July through June fiscal years.

The recent opportunities show food procurement activity concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest and Illinois. Specific recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a response due July 13, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST; Ben Hill County Schools issuing IFB #26271 for comprehensive food procurement with responses due June 15, 2026 at 2:30 p.m.; Burke County Public Schools issuing a school nutrition food bid with responses due June 5, 2026 at 3:00 PM; and Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 with sealed bids due April 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. Canned or jarred peppers, when sourced, are purchased as part of these broad food service aggregations rather than through dedicated pepper-only solicitations, making this code a passive indicator of activity within larger food commodity buys rather than a procurement focus in its own right.
