UNSPSC 50485504: Chilaca pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50485504 Chilaca pepper purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with the nominal scope — the nine visible solicitations cover broad food supply categories (canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, and institutional food service) for schools, state facilities, and correctional institutions, but none specifically solicit chilaca pepper purees or even narrow pepper products. The code mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source system or dormant procurement activity under this specific commodity line.

State and local food service buyers—school districts, departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and institutional facilities—do source specialty pepper products and purees as part of larger food contracts, but the recent RFPs and IFBs in the source block aggregate such items into broader categories (condiments, specialty foods, prepared items, or spice lines) rather than soliciting them separately. Buyers include Georgia school districts (Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Burke County, Muscogee County, Douglas County), Texas state agencies (HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and Ben Hill County Schools. Activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia) and spans Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri. If pursuing this code, map chilaca pepper purees into institutional food service RFPs as line items within broader condiment or specialty ingredient categories rather than expect standalone commodity solicitations.
