UNSPSC 50485532: Poblano pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50485532 Poblano pepper purees, a Commodity code, represents a narrow food product category that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service supply contracts. Recent activity shows no direct solicitations for poblano pepper purees as a standalone line item; instead, the code appears in the context of large, multipurpose food procurement operations serving institutional food service operations. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this family of food commodity codes—including corrections departments, health and human services agencies, school nutrition programs, and veterans' facilities—typically bundle individual ingredients and prepared foods into comprehensive quarterly or annual RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs that span hundreds of line items across multiple product categories. The mix of recent opportunities reflects school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and specialized state facilities (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center) all issuing food procurement solicitations during the first half of 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Illinois, with Georgia appearing most frequently across multiple school district and state agency procurements. Representative 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, valued at $1.5 million in the prior period; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases) due June 19, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 services across 45 schools due April 27, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts, estimated at $5.5 million annually and due March 4, 2026. No recent solicitations explicitly name poblano pepper purees as a specification; the code's activity derives from its position within broader produce, processed food, or ingredient categories embedded in institutional food service contracts. Vendors pursuing this commodity should track multipurpose food RFPs from school districts and state facility operators rather than expect standalone pepper puree procurements.
