UNSPSC 50465524: Canned or jarred hungarian wax peppers

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

UNSPSC 50465524 Canned or jarred hungarian wax peppers is a Commodity code tracking state and local purchases of preserved peppers for institutional food service and retail distribution. The actual buying activity under this code spans consumable food procurement for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services centers, and state hospital networks. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission), state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and county social services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). These jurisdictions source preserved peppers as line items within broader consumable-food IFBs and IWQs, typically bundled with canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and food service supplies rather than as standalone specialty items. The work is routine commodity procurement—vendors supply products meeting USDA grade standards, FDA compliance, shelf-life minimums (typically 12 months), proper labeling, and delivery within 7 days or FOB Destination terms.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for state-supported living center food and consumables (HHS0017872 for Lufkin, due August 25, 2026; HHS0018082 for Lufkin canteen and campus, due October 23, 2026 at 10:30 a.m.; and HHS0016792V2 for statewide supplemental food, due March 19, 2026), each encompassing peppers as a line item within 20–210 total food and supply items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) for six warehouse distribution points. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for 35 food items including canned vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.). Burke County Public Schools and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia each posted food bids spanning nearly 400 line items for school nutrition programs (due June 8 and June 15, 2026 respectively). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a separate solicitation for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026). No standout repeat issuing body emerges beyond the Texas HHS Commission's multiple state-supported living center procurements. Vendors should expect firm-fixed pricing, F.O.B. Destination delivery with freight prepaid, three references demonstrating similar contract history, E-Verify certification, suspension and debarment compliance, and standard state procurement affirmations and compliance forms.
