UNSPSC 50465513: Canned or jarred anaheim peppers

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

UNSPSC 50465513 Canned or jarred anaheim peppers is a Commodity code that captures the procurement of prepared pepper products used in institutional food service — specifically canned or jarred anaheim peppers sourced by state and local nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and health services operations. Recent solicitations under this code show state agencies, school districts, and health and human services facilities buying prepared vegetables as line items within broader food service and consumable product procurements, rather than as standalone pepper-only purchases. The code sits within a larger ecosystem of canned and processed vegetable buying; isolated pepper purchases are rare, but they appear consistently as minor line items in comprehensive food bids.

Issuing bodies pursuing this code span corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), school nutrition programs (multiple Georgia and Missouri school districts), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), and integrated purchasing cooperatives serving multi-district school systems (Douglas County School System in Georgia and GEC Buying Cooperative). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Illinois, with recent opportunities posted through February through June 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000015837 (posted January 26, 2026, due February 9, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes delivered to its Central Distribution Center; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food products (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) covering multiple produce and prepared vegetable categories across four school locations. The code shows steady activity within institutional meal-service procurement, though canned anaheim peppers themselves appear as supporting line items rather than primary procurement drivers. Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet firm fixed pricing requirements, comply with USDA and FDA standards, maintain minimum shelf-life specifications (typically 12 months), and include transportation and delivery in quoted prices delivered to centralized distribution centers or individual school and facility locations.
