UNSPSC 50485514: Ancho pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50485514 Ancho pepper purees, a Commodity code, covers specialty food ingredients and prepared sauces procured by state and local agencies for institutional food service. The recent solicitation activity under this code is sparse and indirect. While the code's nominal scope is ancho pepper purees specifically, the available recent opportunities show Texas Health and Human Services Commission and school district food service procurements that reference sauces and peppers generically within much broader food and consumables packages—exemplified by IFB HHS0017872 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, August 2026) and HHS0018082 (Lufkin canteen and campus, October 2026), both naming peppers and sauces as line items within 20–22-item consumables lists spanning French fries, chicken wings, trays, and napkins. School districts and state corrections agencies also appear in the broader food-procurement landscape, but no recent posting directly and solely targets ancho pepper purees as a standalone commodity or in meaningful volume.

Issuing bodies span state departments of health and human services, school districts, and state corrections agencies concentrated in Texas and Georgia. The geographic spread of recent activity includes Texas (multiple HHSC facilities), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, State of Georgia), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois (state IVHQ facilities). The representative recent opportunities cluster around institutional food service for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs, where peppers and specialty sauces appear as minor line items within comprehensive, multi-hundred-item food packages rather than as focused procurement categories. A dedicated solicitation for ancho pepper purees at any tier has not surfaced in recent postings; vendors pursuing this code should monitor broad food-service RFQs and IFBs from Texas HHSC facilities and state corrections procurement offices where specialty food ingredients are incorporated into larger consumables awards.
