UNSPSC 50465532: Canned or jarred poblano peppers

The variety of peppers known as poblano peppers that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465532 Canned or jarred poblano peppers, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity in state and local government contracts. State and local food service operations—primarily school nutrition programs and institutional food service at corrections and health facilities—solicit broadly across canned vegetable categories under codes in this family, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly calling for poblano peppers by name. The code's scope encompasses specialty preserved peppers for use in large-volume institutional meal preparation, where vendors supply case quantities to central distribution points serving multiple locations. The issuing bodies pursuing canned vegetable supplies in this family include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county and city school districts, and regional cooperative purchasing consortia. Work solicited under related canned-goods codes involves IFB and RFP formats with firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA grade standards, minimum shelf-life requirements, and FOB Destination delivery to central warehouses or direct school sites.

Geographic activity in canned vegetables concentrates in the Southeast and Western states. Recent solicitations for canned tomatoes, canned goods broadly, and specialty food items have posted from Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections, February and June 2026), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple 2026 postings), Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System, all 2026), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home Quincy, February 2026), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District, March–April 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026) and tomato paste (approximately 1,904 cases, due March 9, 2026), both targeting institutional food service. Texas HHSC has posted multiple food and consumable RFPs for state hospitals and supported living centers, with line items spanning canned goods, with due dates in February, March, and June 2026. School district RFPs for comprehensive grocery and produce procurement regularly include canned vegetables as subordinate line items within broader food-supply contracts. No recent opportunity in the source explicitly names canned or jarred poblano peppers as a distinct line item or primary procurement focus.
