UNSPSC 50475527: Canned or jarred organic mirasol peppers

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

UNSPSC 50475527 Canned or jarred organic mirasol peppers is a Commodity code that covers jarred and canned specialty peppers for institutional food service and procurement. State and local governments rarely solicit this specific commodity in isolation; instead, peppers appear as one line item within much larger food-service solicitations for state agencies, school districts, and correctional facilities. The actual buying reflects the diversity of institutional food operations—state supported living centers, state hospitals, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county services departments all source peppers and other prepared or processed food items through competitive bids where peppers are bundled with fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy, condiments, and consumable supplies. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission stands out as a repeat buyer, having issued multiple fiscal year 2027 food-service solicitations for state supported living centers and hospitals statewide.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (response due October 23, 2026) for consumables including prepared foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center; HHS0017872 on August 11, 2026 for fiscal year 2027 consumables and noncontract items at Lufkin (response due August 25, 2026), which explicitly listed peppers among 20 line items; and HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, covering items for food service and canteen operations across the state's supported living centers and state health services facilities. Additional solicitations from Gwinnett County, Georgia (IWQ 140229, October 13, 2026, response due October 19, 2026) for shelf-stable food products for the Department of Community Services; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia (IFB #26271, May 19, 2026, response due June 15, 2026) for school nutrition food products across four schools; and Burke County Public Schools, Georgia (May 11, 2026, response due June 5, 2026) for comprehensive grocery procurement demonstrate the code's activity in institutional food sourcing. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, June 5, 2026, response due June 19, 2026) under related commodity codes. Peppers as a standalone item do not appear prominently in recent notices; the code is active but subsumed within broader food procurement portfolios where individual specialty items receive minimal standalone volume.
