UNSPSC 50475503: Canned or jarred organic cheese peppers

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

UNSPSC 50475503 Canned or jarred organic cheese peppers is a Commodity code tracking a narrow food product category — pickled or preserved peppers with cheese filling, typically sold in cans or jars — that shows minimal direct activity in recent state and local solicitations. The actual work being procured under this code and closely related commodity food lines consists of shelf-stable canned and jarred food products supplied to institutional food service operations including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, and other state and local food service operations. Issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, multiple Georgia counties and school districts, Illinois state agencies, and individual state supported living centers. The mix reflects procurement by state health and corrections departments alongside county governments and independent school districts, with school nutrition programs appearing as repeat buyers across the recent opportunity set. The purchases cover hundreds of line items per solicitation, often bundled with other canned vegetables, proteins, and consumable food service supplies rather than cherry-picked by individual commodity.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon in the recent opportunity set, with Illinois also present. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and its affiliated state supported living centers (Lufkin, El Paso) appear three times across the recent six-month window, indicating sustained institutional food service procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026) spanning 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins for senior services (response due October 19, 2026); Burke County Public Schools School Nutrition Food Bid (sealed bids due June 5, 2026) covering nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories across five schools; and Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000017145 IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026). Deliveries are typically required within 7 to 30 days of order receipt, F.O.B. Destination with freight included in pricing, and contracts generally run one fiscal or school year with optional renewals. Bidders must provide references, certifications of compliance (debarment, E-Verify, non-collusion), and evidence of relevant industry experience and operational scale.
