UNSPSC 50495403: Organic cheese pepper purees

The variety of organic peppers known as organic cheese peppers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50495403 Organic cheese pepper purees (Commodity) represents shelf-stable and prepared food products sourced by state and local governments for institutional food service operations, though recent opportunities show the code sees limited direct use — state and local procurement under this Commodity focuses primarily on broader food service consumables spanning fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared items rather than specialty cheese-pepper puree products in isolation. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies operating supported living centers and state hospitals, county and municipal school districts, state departments of corrections, and county nutrition programs. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer across multiple solicitations for consumable foods and supplemental products spanning state supported living centers and hospitals. Work being solicited includes full-line food service procurement covering proteins, dairy, produce, canned goods, condiments, and food service supplies, typically bundled into single comprehensive contracts rather than line-item awards.
