UNSPSC 50495423: Organic habanero pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50495423 Organic habanero pepper purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in the recent state and local procurement activity presented. The recent-opportunities block contains sixteen solicitations for food service contracts issued by school districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and state veterans homes across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri between January and June 2026. These opportunities span canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, comprehensive grocery procurement, and food supply distribution—categories that address staple institutional food needs—but none specifically reference organic habanero pepper purees or any specialty pepper products. The solicitations tag items under broad UNSPSC classifications for food products (50400000-level codes for edible crops and prepared foods) and consumable supplies, yet the actual line items and scope descriptions emphasize volume commodity staples: canned goods, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and kitchen supplies.

State and local food service procurement under related commodity codes draws issuing activity from school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County and Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Ben Hill County and Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, and Douglas County school systems), state agencies (Texas HHSC and DSHS for state hospitals and supported living centers, Illinois Veterans Homes, Oregon Department of Corrections), and occasionally cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, with Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Burke County, Ben Hill County, and Douglas County all posting produce and food contracts) and spans Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement for supplemental food and consumables (IFB HHS0017449, response due Jul 13, 2026, approximately $1.5 million historical value), the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomatoes bid (ITB S2910000017145, response due Jun 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, response due Apr 27, 2026). None of these opportunities target specialty pepper purees; all emphasize Buy American compliance, USDA grade specifications, fixed firm pricing, and weekly or scheduled delivery to multiple institutional locations. Organic habanero pepper purees represent a niche ingredient with minimal visible demand in institutional state and local food service procurement as of mid-2026.
