UNSPSC 50495417: Organic cayenne pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50495417 Organic cayenne pepper purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialized food ingredients and condiments, though recent opportunities show limited direct activity under this specific code. The scope of work under this code encompasses ingredient-level food products for institutional food service, including spice purees and pepper-based condiments destined for state facilities, school districts, and other public institutions. Recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly reflect broader food service and consumables procurement by state departments, county governments, and school districts, with purchasing activity concentrated among institutional food service operations rather than standalone ingredient suppliers. The issuing bodies soliciting food and consumable products include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state agencies, and multiple Georgia school districts and county boards of education, alongside specialized state institutional facilities such as state-supported living centers and correctional institutions.

The geographic spread of recent food service procurement activity spans Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Georgia, with particular concentration among Georgia school districts and county boards of education. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) under a fixed-price, firm-unit-rate structure with historical annual spend of approximately $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste (due March 9, 2026, with historical pricing at $27.75 per case); and multiple Georgia school district food procurement RFPs and IFBs including Liberty County Board of Education's IFB for food products (due April 29, 2026) and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million. These solicitations consistently require firm, fixed pricing inclusive of all transportation and delivery, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and delivery to multiple school and institutional locations across specified geographic regions. No recent opportunities appear to solicit organic cayenne pepper purees specifically; the code shows general food service and consumables activity rather than activity concentrated in specialty ingredient procurement.
