UNSPSC 50485514: Ancho pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50485514 Ancho pepper purees (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity almost exclusively as one line item within much larger food-service and school-nutrition solicitations, and the recent record shows no standalone ancho pepper puree bids—the code maps to a narrow ingredient item, not a primary procurement focus. State and local governments buy ancho pepper purees as part of broader food supply contracts for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school nutrition programs, where they function as seasoning or sauce components alongside hundreds of other food products.

Recent activity centers on Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Illinois, and Oregon school districts and state agencies issuing IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive food and consumable products. The Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) solicited fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas for 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) requested sealed bids for multiple food categories including seasonings and condiments across four school locations; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) requested food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical value of $1.5 million; and the Oregon Department of Corrections (ITB S2910000015837, due February 9, 2026) procured canned tomatoes as a standalone item, illustrating the range of food procurement. Ancho pepper purees would be bid as a commodity line item within these broader solicitations rather than as a standalone contract, making pursuit under this code impractical without visibility into individual line-item pricing and specification opportunities embedded in larger school nutrition and institutional food-service RFPs.
