UNSPSC 50476849: Canned or jarred organic paprika

The type of organic vegetable known as organic paprika that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476849 Canned or jarred organic paprika, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food service procurement—specifically organic paprika in shelf-stable packaging—but recent opportunities tagged to this code show minimal direct demand and substantial scope misalignment. The code appears underutilized or misapplied in state and local purchasing systems. When state and local governments procure spices and seasonings at all, they typically do so as line items within broader food service RFPs rather than as standalone commodity purchases, and the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly seeking canned or jarred paprika or any single-spice categories. The code's nominal scope does not match what buyers in this sector are actually soliciting right now.

State and local issuing bodies—including school nutrition programs, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and institutional food service operations across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia—are posting RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive grocery and food supply contracts covering hundreds of line items at once. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) is requesting bids for food and consumable products for state-supported living centers under NIGP Class/Item numbers that bundle seasonings and condiments into broader food service categories; the Oregon Department of Corrections has posted separate ITBs for canned tomatoes and tomato paste; and school districts from Fairfax County, Virginia (Master Grocery K-12, due April 27, 2026) to Ben Hill County, Georgia (Food Bid, due June 15, 2026) to Rockwood R-VI in Missouri (Grocery Items 2026-2027, due April 29, 2026) are soliciting hundreds of food product line items with fixed or adjustable pricing. These solicitations group seasonings and condiments—if they appear at all—as ancillary items within larger contracts, not as standalone specialty purchases. The code shows no recent standalone opportunities and no clear market signal for pursuit.
