UNSPSC 50465525: Canned or jarred jalapeno peppers

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

UNSPSC 50465525 Canned or jarred jalapeno peppers is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable preserved pepper products that state and local governments procure primarily as food-service ingredients for institutional dining and nutrition programs. The code appears in solicitations for prepared and bulk food supply to state hospitals, supported living centers, school districts, correctional facilities, and county social-services programs. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon), county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and state correctional and procurement divisions. The typical scope involves canned and jarred peppers as line items within broader consumables and food-service bids—not standalone pepper contracts—where products are ordered in modest volumes (1–24 cases annually in many institutional settings) and must meet USDA or FDA standards with firm fixed pricing on a per-unit basis, F.O.B. Destination delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order, and compliance with federal food-safety and state regulatory requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables serving state supported living centers and state hospitals (HHS0017872 and HHS0017449, with response dates in late June and August 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables for county senior services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each solicited comprehensive school nutrition bids encompassing hundreds of line items including canned goods (bids due June 15 and June 5, 2026 respectively); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, response due May 4, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections and State of Illinois also appear in the activity set. Canned or jarred jalapeno peppers represent a minor commodity within these larger food-service aggregations and do not anchor individual procurement vehicles.
