UNSPSC 50485501: Ajies pepper purees

The variety of peppers known as ajies peppers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485501 Ajies pepper purees is a Commodity code that in practice covers a much broader range of shelf-stable and fresh food products—not ajies peppers specifically—purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for prepared foods, frozen entrees, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy products, condiments, sauces, and related consumables for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, county schools, independent school districts, and state-level procurement offices acting on behalf of operating agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Georgia school districts appear as repeat buyers in the recent opportunity set, though activity spans multiple states and issuing-body types.

Recent solicitations show Texas HHS Commission seeking food and consumable products for Lufkin State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) and for El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026), both encompassing dozens of line items from prepared foods to paper and service supplies with annual volumes ranging from 1 to 24 cases per item and prior-period values in the range of $1.5 million. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case (due June 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each issued comprehensive school food bids for the 2026-2027 school year, both encompassing hundreds of line items across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods (due June 15 and June 5, 2026 respectively). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, via the Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse distribution points (due May 4, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia with additional recent posts in Oregon and Illinois, reflecting the broad geographic and multi-sector demand for institutional food service supplies.
