UNSPSC 50475525: Canned or jarred organic jalapeno peppers

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

UNSPSC 50475525 Canned or jarred organic jalapeno peppers is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within shelf-stable food procurement—specifically preserved peppers used in institutional food service. State and local governments buy this product as part of broader consumable-food solicitations for cafeterias, kitchens, canteens, and food-service operations at state facilities, correctional institutions, schools, and senior services centers. The code sees activity primarily from state health and human services agencies, correctional departments, school nutrition programs, and county social-services operations. Recent opportunities show that canned or jarred peppers appear as individual line items within larger food-supply contracts that encompass dozens of products; vendors are typically asked to quote unit pricing and respond to multiple food categories simultaneously rather than peppers in isolation. The work is straightforward supply-and-delivery: meet USDA grade or equivalent standards, ship FOB Destination within the specified lead time (commonly seven days of order or 72 hours), and maintain shelf-life and labeling compliance.

Texas leads current activity, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing multiple IFBs for food and consumables at state supported living centers and hospitals between May and October 2026; the most recent was IFB HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), which included peppers and sauces among 22 line items with annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item. Georgia schools and county systems (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) solicited food bids via IWQ or IFB in May and June 2026, each encompassing hundreds of line items; Oregon's Department of Corrections issued IFBs for canned tomatoes and potatoes in June and July 2026. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and state correctional systems also appear in the record. Bidders should expect to compete on unit pricing, meet F.O.B. Destination delivery terms with freight included, provide three verifiable references, certify compliance with E-Verify and debarment status, and often respond to addenda and Q&A cycles. No single-vendor concentration is evident; activity is distributed across multiple states and issuing bodies with seasonal peaks in spring and early fall tied to fiscal-year purchasing cycles and school-nutrition planning.
