UNSPSC 50475521: Canned or jarred organic guajillo peppers

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

UNSPSC 50475521 Canned or jarred organic guajillo peppers is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable specialty pepper products and related canned or jarred organic ingredients procured by state institutions, school districts, and county agencies. State and local governments use this code to source prepared and specialty food items for institutional food service operations, including dining facilities at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services agencies. The sourcing mix reflects diverse issuing bodies: Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for state-supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections, county school districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County, Burke County, and Gwinnett County), and other state departments managing institutional food service. The code sits within broader food procurement activity that encompasses not only specialty peppers but also complementary prepared foods, canned vegetables, condiments, and food service supplies needed to support institutional cafeteria and canteen operations.
