UNSPSC 50465510: Canned or jarred melrose peppers

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

UNSPSC 50465510 Canned or jarred melrose peppers is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records but shows minimal direct recent activity; the recent opportunities posted under or near this code span broader food-service categories rather than canned peppers specifically. State and local buyers posting grocery and food-service solicitations—including school districts, correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes—acquire canned and jarred specialty produce items as part of larger food-supply contracts, though few solicitations isolate melrose peppers as a line item. The issuing bodies span the full range of state and local jurisdictions: school nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia; Texas and Oregon state corrections and health agencies; Illinois veterans' homes; and county schools districts in multiple states. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Missouri), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Texas, with secondary activity in Illinois and Virginia.

Representative recent opportunities show the code's context within broader food procurement. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) solicited food and consumable products under NIGP class numbers including canned goods for state-supported living centers statewide, with historical annual value of $1.5 million and firm fixed unit-rate pricing required. The Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) sought approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes—a direct peer commodity—with USDA Grade B or better standards, 12-month minimum shelf life, and sodium content not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams, delivered to Salem at FOB Destination, with the prior purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) and similar school-district food bids encompass canned vegetables, fruits, and condiments within hundred-item procurement lines under Buy American Act requirements and HACCP compliance. Most solicitations employ firm fixed pricing with price adjustments limited to CPI-tied redetermination or manufacturer-documented increases, quarterly or annual contract terms, and delivery within 7 to 30 days, with awards to lowest responsive bidders or best value where multiple vendors supply by line item.
