UNSPSC 50485525: Jalapeño pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50485525 Jalapeño pepper purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specific condiment and ingredient products for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and state facility cafeterias. The recent solicitations show that while the code's nominal scope names a single product line, state and local buyers tag a much broader set of food procurement activity under this and related produce codes—fresh produce, canned vegetables, dairy, proteins, and pantry staples for school districts, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, and Muscogee County in Georgia; Rockwood and other Missouri districts) and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia Department). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with a secondary stream of state facility food service procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with no single jurisdiction dominating. 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, with historical annual value of $1.5 million and contract terms through August 31, 2028; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026, with delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 spanning 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens with weekly delivery, due April 27, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One, due March 4, 2026. Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, USDA grading standards, firm fixed pricing with limited escalation provisions, and Net 30 payment terms are standard across most school district and state agency solicitations.
