UNSPSC 50475536: Canned or jarred organic tai peppers

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

UNSPSC 50475536 Canned or jarred organic tai peppers is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable pepper products for institutional food service. State and local governments procure canned and jarred peppers as components of broader consumable food programs serving correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and county social-service agencies. The work falls within larger food-service procurement campaigns that bundle peppers alongside proteins, vegetables, dairy, condiments, and kitchen supplies rather than as standalone line items. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state corrections departments, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and county purchasing divisions across multiple states. These jurisdictions conduct competitive solicitations ranging from informal quotes to formal invitations for bid, with awards typically made on lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder or best-value criteria.

Recent activity centers in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and food products serving state-supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso, with response dates in June and August 2026; these procurements encompassed 20 to 210 line items including peppers and related food-service supplies with contract values reaching $1.5 million and $4.5 million over multi-year terms. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an informal written quote in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia both solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 covering nearly 400 line items each. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a June 2026 IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences. The code shows no standout repeat buyers by name in the recent opportunities block, though state institutional food-service procurement—particularly Texas HHS and state corrections agencies—appears active. Geographic concentration is evident in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois.
