UNSPSC 50485512: Aji dulces pepper purees

The variety of peppers known as aji dulces peppers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485512 Aji dulces pepper purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure food products under this code as part of broader child nutrition, institutional food service, and state facility catering operations, though recent opportunities show limited direct solicitation for pepper purees specifically. Instead, the recent activity reveals state and local buyers sourcing comprehensive food supply contracts that encompass produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and prepared foods for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services institutions, and veterans' homes. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia Department of State Health). State facilities purchasing for residents, patients, and inmates represent the bulk of institutional demand; school nutrition programs buying for daily meal service represent the largest and most frequent buyer segment. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the Georgia Educational Consortium (GEC) extend individual school district contracts across multi-district consortia, broadening the scope of single awards.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with the most recent and highest-dollar opportunities in Georgia school districts and Texas state health facilities. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026; prior-period value $1.5 million), the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts via the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026; estimated annual spending $5.5 million across two areas), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). Pepper purees and other condiments appear as line items within these broader food supply contracts rather than as stand-alone commodity purchases, indicating that vendors pursuing this code should position capability across full food-service portfolios and be prepared to respond to multi-category, often 200+ line-item solicitations with firm fixed pricing, delivery compliance, USDA/FDA compliance certifications, and insurance minimums typically ranging from $1 million to $2 million per occurrence.
