UNSPSC 50475530: Canned or jarred organic pequin peppers

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

UNSPSC 50475530 Canned or jarred organic pequin peppers is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line — shelf-stable, packaged hot peppers — that state and local governments procure primarily as part of large consumables food contracts for institutional food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations show the code embedded within broader food and consumable-product bids rather than as a standalone line item; the code appears occasionally within Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurements for state supported living centers and state hospital food service, as well as within school district nutrition program bids and state corrections department cafeteria-supply contracts. Issuing bodies are predominantly Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice, Comptroller), Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and the Oregon Department of Corrections. The work involves supplying institutional kitchens with shelf-stable specialty food components to meet facility menus and compliant portions, typically delivered FOB Destination with seven-day or 30-day lead times and pricing evaluated on a per-unit or per-case basis.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs in 2026 for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items (HHS0016792V2, posted May 19, due March 19, with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years), food for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, posted June 11, due July 13, prior-year value $1.5 million), and consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (HHS0018082, posted October 16, due October 23, and HHS0017872, posted August 11, due August 25). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products IFB (304T26300CF, posted May 4, due May 4, later extended to May 4 via addendum) covers approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato bid in June 2026, and Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools) issued comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 with delivery to multiple school locations. No recent opportunities explicitly name pequin peppers as a line item; the code's activity appears limited to inclusion within larger institutional consumables frameworks rather than as a dedicated procurement vehicle.
