UNSPSC 50465522: Canned or jarred guerro peppers

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

UNSPSC 50465522 Canned or jarred guerro peppers (Commodity) is a specialized food ingredient with minimal recent state and local procurement activity; of sixteen recent opportunities in the underlying dataset, only one—the Oregon Department of Corrections' tomato paste and canned-tomato solicitations—represents genuinely related canned-vegetable purchases, while the remainder address broader grocery, produce, and food-service procurement under different commodity codes. State and local governments buy canned and jarred peppers principally as ingredient stock for institutional food service operations, typically in case quantities for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and health and human services residential centers. The code shows no repeat buyers in recent months, and issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, State of Georgia), and regional cooperatives sourcing for multiple districts (Douglas County School System via GEC Buying Cooperative).

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (HHSC statewide procurements, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Oregon (ODOC central distribution), Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), and Illinois (Veterans Homes), with no standout concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative recent opportunities show the actual buying pattern: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026; due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including canned goods to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center and other HHSC facilities statewide, with prior-period spend of $1.5 million and firm fixed unit-rate pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016089 (posted February 20, 2026; due March 9, 2026) for tomato paste (approximately 1,904 cases) as a specific canned-vegetable line item, with FOB Destination pricing and eight-week delivery cycles. Broader food-service solicitations from school districts (such as Fairfax County's Master Grocery K-12, posted April 6, 2026) and from HHSC for supplemental foods to state hospitals and supported living centers nominally include canned vegetables within their scope but do not isolate guerro peppers as a line-item specification, making this code's recent visibility limited to incidental mentions within larger institutional meal-service buys.
