UNSPSC 50485526: Long hot pepper purees

The variety of peppers known as long hot peppers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485526 Long hot pepper purees is a Commodity code that covers specialty pepper and chili-based food products used in institutional food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations show little activity specifically targeting this ingredient. The code sees occasional use in broader consumables and food-supply procurements by state health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, and school districts, where pepper purees would typically be purchased as part of larger line-item food contracts covering sauces, condiments, and prepared-food ingredients. Issuing bodies include state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services departments. When the code appears in recent opportunities, it is embedded within comprehensive food-service contracts that solicit dozens to hundreds of line items spanning proteins, vegetables, dairy, and kitchen supplies rather than standing as a specialized procurement on its own.

Recent activity is scattered geographically. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods covering state supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso, with bids due in June, July, and October 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes in June 2026; and Georgia and Illinois have solicited broader food-supply contracts. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools also posted school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026. No recent opportunities specifically or prominently feature long hot pepper purees as a standalone line item or named product. The code shows minimal decision-making relevance for business development in this category at present — firms focused narrowly on pepper-puree supply should monitor state food-service contracting through the broader consumables and condiments notices, particularly those issued by state correctional, mental-health, and school-nutrition programs, rather than expect dedicated procurement activity under this code.
