UNSPSC 50485518: Cherry hots pepper purees

The variety of peppers known as cherry hots peppers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485518 Cherry hots pepper purees is a Commodity code that appears under state and local procurement solicitations as part of broader food-supply contracts, though recent activity shows no standalone procurements focused exclusively on the product. The code's scope encompasses shelf-stable, prepared food ingredients and condiments used in institutional and food-service settings. State and local governments buy cherry hot pepper purees and related condiments as line items within multi-category food procurement contracts serving corrections facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, and county social-service programs. Recent solicitations show the product type embedded alongside sauces, condiments, canned vegetables, proteins, and fresh produce in IFB and informal quote processes.

The issuing bodies are predominantly Texas state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts in Georgia and Texas (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and county social-service or nutrition programs (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include HHS0018082 (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Lufkin State Supported Living Center, IFB closing October 23, 2026, encompassing 22 food and supply line items); S2910000017460 (Oregon Department of Corrections, Tomato Canned, IFB closing July 27, 2026, 7,616 cases with 5 percent Oregon-preference and Oregon-resident-bidder evaluation preferences); and PE77023NONST2027000000782 (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including sauces, IWQ closing October 19, 2026). Contract values for multi-item food bids in this space range from approximately $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multi-year periods; line-item margins are typically tight in these competitive, low-touch procurements.
