UNSPSC 50485510: Melrose pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50485510 Melrose pepper purees is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement. Recent solicitations tagged under this code, however, show limited direct activity for melrose pepper purees specifically. The code appears primarily in broader food-service and consumable-products solicitations issued by state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, school districts, and county nutrition programs that source dozens to hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and kitchen supplies. The work being solicited is institutional food service supply—fresh, frozen, canned, and dry goods delivered to state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school cafeterias, senior centers, and campus canteens, typically under IFB or IWQ notice types with response windows of one to three weeks.

State health and human services commissions in Texas dominate recent solicitation volume, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting multiple IFBs for food and consumable products to state-supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, one a $1.5 million annual guideline (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) and another with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million (HHS0016792V2, originally due March 19, 2026). School districts in Georgia—Ben Hill County Schools (PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (PE55037NONST2027000000007, due June 5, 2026)—are also active buyers, as is Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections (S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The code shows no recent opportunities specifically soliciting melrose pepper purees as a line item; the appearances are collateral to broader consumables bids where pepper products appear as one of dozens of condiment or seasoning options in larger food-service contracts.
