UNSPSC 50495425: Organic jalapeño pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50495425 Organic jalapeño pepper purees (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity actually being solicited under this code. Recent opportunities show no demand for organic jalapeño pepper purees specifically; instead, the code appears to capture state and local food service procurement more broadly, with emphasis on fresh produce, canned goods, and prepared foods for correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county school districts (Muscogee County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Burke County, Ben Hill County, Savannah-Chatham County, Fairfax County), and state-supported living centers, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant buyer category in recent months. Work solicited includes weekly and quarterly food orders for institutional feeding, with vendors typically required to supply hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and consumables under fixed-price or cost-plus models with firm pricing for 12 months and delivery to multiple school or facility locations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, reflecting distributed demand across state departments and school districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables bid (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering approximately 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomatoes solicitation (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases with prior pricing at $13.75 per case; Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and supplies across four school locations with quarterly escalation provisions; and the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for 30 participating districts. The code shows no direct recent activity for jalapeño pepper purees as a standalone commodity; vendors pursuing this code should expect demand only as a line item within larger institutional food service contracts, not as a primary procurement driver.
