UNSPSC 50495415: Organic bell pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50495415 Organic bell pepper purees, a Commodity code, does not generate recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The thirteen documented opportunities posted since January 2026 under or near this code cover broad food service categories—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, cafeteria food products, and supplemental consumables for schools, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and health and human services agencies—but none specifically solicits organic bell pepper purees or puree products. The opportunities reflect demand across school nutrition programs, state correctional institutions, state-supported living centers, and state hospitals, spanning issuing bodies including state departments of corrections and health services, independent school districts, county school systems, and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with scattered activity in Virginia and other states.

Representative recent solicitations show the typical scope under nearby food-service codes rather than the target commodity: the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, closing February 9, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, closing February 23, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive food products including fresh and frozen produce (closing June 15, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for master grocery K-12 (76 items minimum, closing April 27, 2026). None of these opportunities names organic bell pepper purees as a line item or category. Buyers under related codes emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American requirements, sodium limits, shelf-life specifications, and delivery-inclusive pricing, but the absence of puree-specific demand in recent state and local notices suggests this commodity either commands minimal procurement volume at the state and local tier or is bundled into larger processed-food categories not itemized separately in public solicitations. Business development professionals should monitor corrections, health services, and school nutrition RFPs for possible inclusion as reformulated menu offerings, but current market signals do not support active pursuit of this code tier.
