UNSPSC 50465503: Canned or jarred cheese peppers

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

UNSPSC 50465503 Canned or jarred cheese peppers, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity at the state and local level, with recent opportunities focused instead on broader food-service categories that may incidentally include this item. The code nominally describes a specific processed vegetable product—canned or jarred peppers with cheese—yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under or related to this taxonomy focus on aggregate food supply contracts for institutional feeding, school nutrition programs, and correctional and health-care facilities, where such specialty items appear as line items within hundreds-of-line master grocery or produce tenders rather than as standalone procurements. State and local buyers acquiring under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia; Douglas County School System, Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia), state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections; Texas Health and Human Services Commission; State of Illinois Veterans Home), and county school nutrition programs, typically issuing IFBs or RFPs on fixed-price annual contracts with renewal options spanning twelve to twenty-four months.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with Texas health agencies and Georgia school districts accounting for the plurality of recent solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million), which encompasses canned goods and specialty items alongside fresh and frozen categories; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), a term contract supplying 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with hundreds of line items including canned vegetables; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due April 6, 2026, for 7,616 cases at approximately $13.75 per case in the prior purchase). Canned-pepper procurements do not surface as standalone RFPs or IFBs in this recent activity block; instead, vendors pursuing this commodity should track master grocery and institutional food-service tenders where canned and jarred specialty vegetables appear as discretionary or secondary line items, often with buy-American requirements, USDA compliance mandates, and firm fixed-price structures across one-to-three-year initial terms.
