UNSPSC 50465527: Canned or jarred mirasol peppers

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

UNSPSC 50465527 Canned or jarred mirasol peppers, a Commodity code, appears rarely in recent state and local procurement activity; the code shows little relevant recent solicitation history despite broad foodservice demand across jurisdictions. When the code does appear, it reflects institutional food purchasing by state agencies, school districts, and corrections departments acquiring shelf-stable specialty pepper products as components of larger food contracts rather than standalone line items. The abstract code scope diverges meaningfully from actual procurement patterns—state and local governments buy canned mirasol peppers almost exclusively as one ingredient among hundreds in comprehensive food bids for cafeterias, correctional facilities, and care centers, not as a discrete commodity requiring separate sourcing.

State and local foodservice procurement in the recent record concentrates heavily in school nutrition programs (particularly Georgia and Missouri school districts), state agencies operating residential care facilities and correctional institutions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), and state facilities procurement offices (Illinois Veterans Home, Ben Hill County Schools). The geographic spread spans the South and Upper Midwest, with concentrated activity in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation for canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000017145, bids due June 19, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, bids due April 27, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items procurement (bids due April 29, 2026). These solicitations typically bundle hundreds of line items covering proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and specialty products under single IFBs or RFPs with annual values ranging from $1.5 million to $9 million and contract terms spanning one to three years. Canned mirasol peppers, when specified at all, appear as one line item in these broad institutional food contracts rather than as a standalone procurement driver, making successful pursuit contingent on positioning within larger foodservice distribution or institutional supply chains serving schools and state facilities.
