UNSPSC 50485527: Mirasol pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50485527 Mirasol pepper purees, a Commodity code, covers specialty food ingredients that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show minimal direct activity under this specific code; the opportunities tagged to it predominantly feature broad grocery and fresh produce procurement rather than pepper-based ingredients. School districts and state agencies buying under this code seek prepared food components and specialty ingredients to support child nutrition programs, institutional cafeterias, and state-supported living facilities, though mirasol peppers specifically appear underutilized in recent state and local contracting.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Missouri based on the recent opportunities block. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Muscogee County School District in Georgia), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, and State of Georgia), and regional purchasing cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). The code shows no recent dedicated solicitations for mirasol pepper purees alone; instead, opportunities tagged to this code typically request quotes or bids for comprehensive food supplies that may include specialty ingredients as line items within larger grocery baskets. 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), covering food service supplies under NIGP classes with firm fixed unit-rate pricing; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories including seasonings and condiments (due June 15, 2026), requiring Buy American compliance and serving four school locations. The code appears to function as a catch-all classification for specialty food items within larger institutional food procurement rather than as a focused market for mirasol pepper products specifically.
