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

UNSPSC 50485523 Habanero pepper purees (Commodity) shows minimal direct recent activity under the code itself, but state and local governments buy pepper purees and related food condiments as components of broader food-service procurement for institutional kitchens, cafeterias, and food-supply programs. The recent solicitations tagged with this code or closely adjacent food categories reveal that state health and human services agencies, corrections departments, school districts, and county nutrition programs source peppers, sauces, and condiment products as line items within comprehensive food orders—typically alongside canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, dry goods, and kitchen supplies. The buying pattern reflects consumption at state-supported living centers, prison food service operations, school cafeterias, senior-services programs, and on-campus canteens where food service is centralized and high-volume. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state procurement), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County, Georgia), independent school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), and special-purpose state entities. No vendor has been named as a repeat winner under this specific code.
