UNSPSC 50485521: Guajillo pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50485521 Guajillo pepper purees (Commodity) does not show material recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—specialty pepper purees for food service—diverges from the recent opportunities posted under this classification, which predominantly cover broad grocery procurement, fresh produce, canned goods, and general food service supplies rather than specialty ingredient products. The single opportunity mentioning guajillo peppers or similar specialty items was not present in the recent solicitations reviewed; instead, the opportunities tagged with or near this code encompass general food product categories such as canned tomatoes, fresh produce (apples, bananas, carrots, peppers generically), dairy, proteins, and consumable supplies for state facilities, school districts, and correctional institutions.

Issuing bodies pursuing food procurement across the recent record include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas), state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home), school districts (Fairfax County Virginia, Rockwood Missouri, Liberty County Georgia, Douglas County Georgia, Burke County Georgia, Muscogee County Georgia, Ben Hill County Georgia, Savannah-Chatham Georgia), and correctional facilities. Geographic concentration appears in Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurements), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), and Oregon (DOC), with activity in Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement for supplemental food and consumables (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through a cooperative purchasing vehicle (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026), and the Oregon DOC procurement for canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026). The absence of solicitations specifically targeting guajillo pepper purees or similar specialty prepared-pepper products suggests this code may be overtagged or sees limited procurement activity at the state and local level; vendors pursuing this category should verify code accuracy during pre-bid clarification or monitor for narrower specialty-ingredient opportunities.
