UNSPSC 50485528: Pasilla pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50485528 Pasilla pepper purees, a Commodity code, maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity in the dataset. The code's nominal scope—pureed pasilla peppers as a finished food product—does not align with the solicitations tagged under it. None of the nine recent opportunities name pasilla pepper purees or pasilla peppers as line items; the largest recent buys are broad food-service consumables for institutional cafeterias, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs, spanning hundreds of product lines including proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, condiments, and kitchen supplies. A single solicitation references peppers generically as one item among twenty in a state-supported living center bid, but does not specify variety or form. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Department of State Health Services), county school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state correctional and institutional authorities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state facilities), and one state purchasing division (Georgia). The mix skews heavily toward public institutions buying bulk food for cafeterias and canteens rather than specialty food manufacturers or distributors selling specific pepper products.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (four opportunities from HHSC and TDCJ), Georgia (three opportunities including county schools and state procurement), and Oregon (two opportunities from ODOC and state purchasing). Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting bids under IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026; due October 23, 2026) for consumables for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center canteen and campus—22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with seven-day delivery; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing an informal written quote (IWQ 140229, posted October 13, 2026; due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, sauces, and vegetables for the Department of Community Services. The Oregon Department of Corrections bid (S2910000017145, posted June 5, 2026; due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case illustrates the commodity-volume character of this market. This code shows minimal activity for pasilla pepper purees specifically; the tagging appears to be a mismatch between the taxonomy and the institutional bulk-food procurement actually occurring.
