UNSPSC 50475509: Canned or jarred organic manzano peppers

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

UNSPSC 50475509 Canned or jarred organic manzano peppers is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable specialty produce items that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service and institutional nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show that this code encompasses canned and jarred pepper products acquired alongside comprehensive food supply contracts for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, Georgia and Illinois state agencies, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state corrections departments. The work being solicited is not stand-alone pepper procurement but rather integration of canned peppers into line-item food baskets for institutional food service, with quantities typically measured in cases and delivery required to multiple facility locations within specific timeframes (commonly 7 days of order receipt). Vendors must meet USDA food standards, provide proper labeling and shelf-life documentation, comply with E-Verify and debarment certifications, maintain liability insurance, and deliver on FOB Destination basis with freight prepaid.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026) and the earlier IFB HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and response deadline of July 13, 2026), both including peppers among 20–22 food line items; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (Department of Community Services food items, due October 19, 2026) requesting 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products; the Oregon Department of Corrections' comparable canned-goods solicitation (S2910000017145, canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' and Burke County Public Schools' school nutrition food bids (due June 15 and June 5, 2026, respectively) covering hundreds of line items including canned vegetables across multiple school sites. No recent opportunity was identified that solicited canned manzano peppers as a standalone item; activity reflects manzano peppers as a minor commodity within large institutional food contracts driven by meal-planning and food-service-supply cycles.
