UNSPSC 50495405: Organic cubanelles pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50495405 Organic cubanelles pepper purees (Commodity) does not align with the actual scope of recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code. The recent opportunities show that state and local governments use this code designation for broad consumable food procurement — including shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, condiments, sauces, dairy products, frozen entrees, and food service supplies — rather than for organic pepper purees specifically. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, HHSC El Paso and Lufkin State Supported Living Centers), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), state correctional and detention agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), and state agencies supplying institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local procurement offices tag institutional food procurement with this code even when the actual items under contract bear little resemblance to organic pepper purees.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Georgia, with recent solicitations from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (four opportunities: Lufkin State Supported Living Center IFB HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026; El Paso State Supported Living Center IFB HHS0017449; and supplemental food statewide IFB HHS0016792V2), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (IWQ 140229 due October 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271 due June 15, 2026), Burke County Public Schools (sealed bid due June 5, 2026), Georgia state procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009 due June 22, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections (canned tomatoes IFB S2910000017145 due June 19, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T-26-300CF extended to May 4, 2026). These solicitations request bulk institutional food and consumable supplies with delivery windows of three to seven days and pricing on an FOB Destination basis; volumes typically range from dozens to thousands of cases annually across multiple line items. The code's recent activity reflects institutional food service procurement rather than specialty agricultural products, and vendors should expect misalignment between the nominal code title and actual solicitation scope.
