UNSPSC 50485524: Hungarian wax pepper purees

The variety of peppers known as hungarian wax peppers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485524 Hungarian wax pepper purees, a Commodity code, covers specialty pepper-based food products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations serving residents, students, and patients at public facilities. The code sees limited recent activity; only one recent opportunity explicitly names Hungarian wax pepper purees, while the broader group of recent solicitations tags dozens of fresh produce, canned goods, and prepared food items under related commodity codes. State and local buying bodies soliciting food supplies include school districts (elementary through high school nutrition programs), corrections departments, health and human services agencies operating state facilities, and veterans' homes. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity from Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, and others across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections also procure food supplies for institutional facilities at scale.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million annually), the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia through a cooperative purchasing vehicle (estimated annual spending $5.5 million across two areas, proposals due March 4, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for a Master Grocery K-12 contract covering weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). School nutrition and institutional food service contracts typically run annual terms (July through June fiscal years) with firm pricing and renewal options ranging from one to four additional years. Buy American requirements and USDA compliance are near-universal; most solicitations require minimum liability insurance, debarment certifications, and E-Verify compliance. No set-asides or minority-owned business designations appear in the recent opportunities reviewed, suggesting open competitive bidding.
