UNSPSC 50495410: Organic melrose pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50495410 Organic melrose pepper purees is a Commodity code that encompasses prepared and preserved pepper products—particularly concentrated pepper preparations, sauces, and pureed condiments—for institutional food service operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code are predominantly state health and human services departments, county departments of community services, school districts, and correctional agencies purchasing ready-to-use or shelf-stable food ingredients and finished condiments for cafeterias, canteens, and food-service supply chains. Recent opportunities show institutional buyers sourcing diverse prepared sauces and pepper-based condiments as line items within larger consumables procurements rather than as standalone purchases; the code sits within a broader market for food-service ingredients where state agencies and local school districts maintain standing contracts with food distributors covering dozens to hundreds of line items annually.

Recent activity spans Texas (Health and Human Services Commission procurements for state supported living centers and state hospitals), Georgia (Gwinnett County and Ben Hill County Schools), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026), the Ben Hill County Schools food bid under IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) covering fresh, frozen, and prepared ingredients across multiple categories including seasonings and condiments for four school locations, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (due May 4, 2026, later extended). The HHSC supplemental food and consumables procurement HHS0016792V2 (due March 19, 2026, closed) encompassed 210 line items including condiments and specialty foods for statewide state hospitals and supported living centers, indicating substantial institutional demand. Contracts typically run twelve months with optional renewal periods, delivery within seven days of order, and FOB Destination pricing; institutional buyers commonly reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors by line item at their discretion.
