UNSPSC 50485503: Cheese pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50485503 Cheese pepper purees (Commodity) does not see active recent state and local procurement activity under its nominal scope. While the code is intended to classify cheese pepper purees as a distinct food ingredient, the most recent opportunities tagged to this code in the source material show no actual procurement of cheese pepper purees. Instead, the opportunities are general food service solicitations — consumables for state supported living centers in Texas, school nutrition programs in Georgia, food supplies for county social services in Georgia, and fresh produce for various state facilities across multiple states. These procurements involve broad categories of shelf-stable and fresh foods, prepared items, and food service supplies, but do not isolate or prominently feature cheese pepper purees as a line item.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county-level social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), state corrections and institutional food services (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state procurement divisions. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on the most recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), which encompasses 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better standards (due June 19, 2026). The commodity code as currently applied to these solicitations shows misalignment with its stated scope, suggesting that vendors targeting cheese pepper purees specifically should monitor higher-level food ingredient or condiment family codes for more relevant opportunities.
