UNSPSC 50485522: Guerro pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50485522 Guerro pepper purees (Commodity) spans prepared condiment products that state and local governments procure for food service operations at public institutions — primarily state health and human services facilities, correctional departments, and school districts. Recent solicitations show the code applied to mixed food-service consumables procurements that include pepper-based sauces and condiment line items alongside proteins, produce, dairy, and disposables, rather than pepper purees as a standalone commodity. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services commissions, state correctional departments, and independent school districts; Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and state-supported living centers appear most frequently in recent postings. Work solicited under the code involves competitive food-service procurement cycles tied to fiscal-year budgets and institutional meal-service operations, typically spanning 200–400 line items across multiple food categories with firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery terms, and contract periods running one to three years with renewal options.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center and Department of State Health Services statewide (due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million); Ben Hill County Schools School Nutrition Program IFB #26271 seeking sealed food bids across multiple product categories for four school locations (due June 15, 2026); Burke County Public Schools IFB for school nutrition food procurement across five schools with nearly 400 line items (sealed bids due June 5, 2026); the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to supply Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations across five geographic areas, encompassing approximately 382 line items (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum); and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026). Bidders must typically meet USDA grade standards, provide multiple product references, demonstrate insurance and debarment compliance, and accept delivery timelines of 7 to 30 days, with Buy American Act compliance required for school-district procurements.
