UNSPSC 50485511: Yellow chile pepper purees

The variety of peppers known as yellow chile peppers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485511 Yellow chile pepper purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify fresh, frozen, and processed pepper products for institutional food service and supply operations. In recent procurement activity, however, this code appears tagged to broader food-service solicitations where yellow chile pepper purees are not explicitly itemized as standalone line items. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, for example, has issued multiple IFBs for consumables and food products across its state-supported living centers, and Georgia counties and school districts have posted food bids covering produce, proteins, canned goods, and condiments—but recent opportunities do not show yellow chile pepper purees called out as distinct commodities. The code's nominal scope suggests it should capture chile pepper products used in institutional canteens, kitchens, and food-service operations at state facilities, school districts, and other public entities, yet the most-recent-opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly requesting yellow chile pepper purees as a specified line item or requirement.

The few opportunities nominally tagged to this code span Texas state health agencies (HHSC and DSHS), Georgia school districts, and Oregon corrections, with activity concentrated in Texas. The Texas HHSC and DSHS issued multiple IFBs for broad consumables and food products—HHS0018082 and HHS0017449 among them—structured as food service supply agreements for state-supported living centers with dozens of line items, IFB notice types, and response dates in June through October 2026. Georgia school districts Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools posted comprehensive food bids under IFB and sealed-bid formats for 2026–2027 school-year nutrition programs. Oregon's Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato procurement under IFB. Because the recent opportunities do not isolate yellow chile pepper purees as a separately solicited item, the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. Vendors monitoring this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices are tagging broader food-service categories to it or whether yellow chile pepper purees are typically bundled within larger condiment, sauce, or produce line items that use higher-level UNSPSC Family or Class codes instead.
