UNSPSC 50495408: Organic korean pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50495408 Organic korean pepper purees is a Commodity code that in theory covers pepper pastes and purees marketed as organic. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code, however, show little activity specifically targeting organic pepper products. The most recent opportunities posted under 50495408 across the source data reflect broad food service procurement for institutional canteens, cafeterias, and nutrition programs — including fresh produce, frozen items, proteins, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies — rather than specialty pepper ingredients. State and local governments buying under this code tier are primarily health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers and psychiatric hospitals, school districts managing nutrition programs, county departments of corrections, and county or municipal food service operations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, having posted multiple IFBs for consumables and food products to supply residential care facilities and canteens statewide.

Recent procurement activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (bids due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods including prepared items and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, and earlier IFBs for El Paso and statewide supplemental food procurement. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026 for shelf-stable food items including sauces and canned products for the Department of Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia solicited a comprehensive food bid in May 2026 covering produce, proteins, dairy, and seasonings across four school locations. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomatoes bid in June 2026 (bids due June 19, 2026). None of the recent opportunities explicitly name organic pepper purees or specialty pepper ingredients as line items; the code appears underutilized or misapplied to broader food-service procurement in current state and local practice.
