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 is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying shelf-stable and prepared food products for institutional food service—cafeterias, canteens, state-supported living facilities, and school nutrition programs—rather than organic bell pepper purees specifically. The recent opportunities block shows no procurement matching the code's nominal scope; instead, the tagged solicitations cover broad consumable food and kitchen supplies ranging from fresh proteins and produce to canned vegetables, condiments, frozen entrees, and disposable service items. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state corrections departments, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat issuer, with at least three recent solicitations for state-supported living centers and hospitals. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and a Georgia county (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners) also conduct regular food procurement under related codes.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables on May 19, 2026, with a response deadline of March 19, 2026 (superseded; the actual deadline was embedded in addenda), covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers across the state with an estimated maximum value of $4.5 million over three years; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with bids due June 19, 2026, reflecting the institution-wide procurement pattern. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products under IFB 304T-26-300CF for multiple warehouse locations, with bids extended to May 4, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia posted an IFB for food products and related items with a June 15, 2026 due date, and Burke County Public Schools sought sealed bids due June 5, 2026. The code shows minimal recent activity aligned to its stated commodity name; business development professionals should verify whether the code is correctly applied to these opportunities or whether the organization is actually purchasing under a broader consumable-foods family or class code.
