UNSPSC 50475522: Canned or jarred organic guerro peppers

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

UNSPSC 50475522 Canned or jarred organic guerro peppers is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure canned and jarred food products under this code primarily for institutional food service operations — cafeteria supply, canteen operations, food banks, state-supported living centers, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show mixed product scope: while the code nominally covers guerro peppers specifically, actual procurement records reflect broader shelf-stable food categories (canned vegetables, tomatoes, proteins, condiments, and prepared items) acquired in bulk for institutional kitchens. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services agencies, county social services departments, school districts, and state corrections departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, having posted multiple food-service bids in the past four months; the Oregon Department of Corrections and several Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners) also procure under related codes at this tier.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026, previous purchase $13.75 per case); and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, vegetables, and condiments (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026). Most school district and state-agency food bids specify delivery within 72 hours to 7 days of order, FOB Destination with prepaid freight, and firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods with adjustment provisions tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indices. Bidders typically must furnish three references, proof of liability insurance (commonly $500,000 per occurrence minimum), and certifications for debarment, E-Verify compliance, and HACCP food safety protocols.
