UNSPSC 50475511: Canned or jarred organic yellow chile peppers

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

UNSPSC 50475511 Canned or jarred organic yellow chile peppers is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred pepper products used in state and local institutional food service operations. State and local governments procure this item as part of broader food-supply contracts for state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, school nutrition programs, and other public cafeterias. The code sits within broader food-procurement activity where multiple line items—including proteins, canned vegetables, condiments, and staple groceries—are bundled into single comprehensive contracts rather than purchased in isolation. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, departments of corrections, school districts, county social services agencies, and state facilities serving vulnerable populations such as residents of state-supported living centers.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and food products serving state-supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso (IFB HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026; IFB HHS0017872 due August 25, 2026; IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026), with the El Paso procurement spanning a $1.5 million annual baseline across food and consumable categories. Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271 due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026)—have solicited comprehensive food bids covering nearly 400 line items each across multiple school locations. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (IFB S2910000017145 due June 19, 2026) under Oregon Buy preferences. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia posted an informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products (IWQ 140229 due October 19, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse regions (due May 4, 2026). No solicitation in the recent record focuses exclusively on canned or jarred yellow chile peppers; the commodity appears only as a potential embedded line item within larger institutional food buys where competitive bidding occurs on aggregated product categories rather than individual SKUs.
