UNSPSC 50485519: Chiltecpin pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50485519 Chiltecpin pepper purees is a Commodity code that covers specialty and ingredient peppers for institutional food service. The recent state and local opportunities do not show direct solicitations for chiltecpin pepper purees as a standalone line item. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and other public institutions buying under this code procure prepared foods and food service supplies for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and similar operations — but the posted opportunities index peppers and sauces as minor components within much larger consumables bids rather than as primary procurement objects. The Lufkin State Supported Living Center IFB HHS0017872 (due August 25, 2026) and IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) each list peppers among 20–22 line items spanning proteins, starches, frozen items, and food service supplies; the El Paso State Supported Living Center IFB HHS0017449 similarly references peppers within a broader food and consumables scope for the facility's food service and canteen operations. These solicitations are issued by state health and human services departments. Issuing bodies also include school districts — Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia (sealed bids due June 5, 2026) both procure seasonal and shelf-stable produce including peppers as line items within comprehensive grocery bids. Correctional systems also participate: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) included fresh and canned vegetables as part of a 382-line-item bid to supply warehouse distribution points.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have issued multiple bids over the June–October 2026 window; Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and the Oregon Department of Corrections (which procured canned tomatoes and other shelf-stable foods) represent secondary pockets of activity. The Oregon Department of Corrections canned-tomato bid (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) required 7,616 cases and included a 5% preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-resident bidders. No recent opportunity exclusively targets chiltecpin pepper purees; the code shows limited direct procurement signal and instead appears as a minor line-item classification within much larger institutional food-service bundled bids where peppers compete alongside dozens of other produce and prepared-food inputs for award.
