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 sees little recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source contains sixteen recent state and local contract opportunities, but only one—the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato procurement (S2910000016405, due March 9, 2026)—touches on pepper products tangentially, and even that entry lacks substantive document content. The remaining opportunities span canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, comprehensive grocery and food-service supply contracts for schools and state institutions, supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers, and cafeteria provisioning for correctional facilities. None of these solicitations explicitly name pepper purees or related pepper-forward products as line items or procurement focus. The code appears misaligned with actual purchasing activity in the recent opportunities block, suggesting either infrequent sourcing under this commodity code or systematic mis-tagging of food service opportunities under broader UNSPSC families.

State and local issuing bodies posting food-service contracts during the 2026 period include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI and Ladue school districts in Missouri; Burke County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Ben Hill County, and Muscogee County school districts in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), and specialized state facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic concentration is evident in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations illustrate the broader scope: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations; and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 supply to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens. None of these opportunities itemizes long hot pepper purees or specialty pepper products as a named commodity or line-item category.
