UNSPSC 50475533: Canned or jarred organic scotch bonnet peppers

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

UNSPSC 50475533 Canned or jarred organic scotch bonnet peppers is a Commodity code that reflects only modest recent activity in state and local procurement, with no recent solicitations specifically naming organic scotch bonnet peppers as a line item. The code nominally covers shelf-stable pepper products, but state and local governments buying under related food-service categories are procuring broader consumable and prepared food inventories rather than specialty pepper items in isolation. The issuing bodies pursuing food and consumable contracts are principally state departments of health and human services, county and municipal nutrition programs (particularly school districts and correctional facilities), and state-supported living centers. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent solicitations. Work spans canteen and food service supply for state institutions, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities — typically as one line item within much larger multi-category food procurements rather than as a standalone specialty product.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the largest and most frequent solicitations originating from Texas state agencies. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs between May and August 2026 for supplemental and consumable food products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, including IFB HHS0016792V2 (posted May 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million) covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and refrigerated foods and consumables. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato procurement (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases with a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. School districts in Ben Hill County, Georgia and Burke County, Georgia each issued comprehensive food bids in May and June 2026 covering hundreds of line items across multiple food categories for the 2026-2027 school year. The code shows no standout specialty-pepper procurement activity; when peppers appear in recent solicitations, they are embedded as single line items within broader food-service awards rather than as named commodity focuses.
