UNSPSC 50475507: Canned or jarred organic kapia peppers

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

UNSPSC 50475507 Canned or jarred organic kapia peppers is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable pepper products supplied to state and local institutions for food service operations. State and local procurement under this code typically appears as a line item within broader consumables and food-supply solicitations issued by departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and school nutrition programs rather than as standalone pepper-specific procurements. The work involves supplying canned or jarred peppers meeting USDA grade and FDA labeling standards for use in institutional kitchens, canteens, and food-service operations serving residents, inmates, patients, and students. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state corrections departments, county social services agencies, school districts, and state universities procuring food through both formal IFBs and informal written quotes. Recent activity shows Texas and Georgia as primary jurisdictions, with solicitations covering peppers as one line item among dozens to hundreds of food products in multi-month or annual food-service contracts.

Representative recent opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bid due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017872 (bid due August 25, 2026), both naming peppers as line items in broader 20-item food-product procurements; Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato bid (June 19, 2026, due date) providing a comparable model for institutional food procurement; and Burke County Public Schools' school nutrition food bid (due June 5, 2026) for nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories serving five schools. Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) similarly solicited multiple food categories under Buy American Act compliance. Most solicitations require FOB Destination delivery within 7 days of order receipt, firm fixed pricing, USDA grade certification, minimum shelf life (often 12 months), and compliance with institutional nutrition standards (HACCP plans, child nutrition meal patterns, or facility-specific dietary guidelines). Delivery routes concentrate in Texas institutional networks, Georgia school districts, and Oregon state facilities, with occasional activity in Illinois state procurement.
