UNSPSC 50495428: Organic pasilla pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50495428 Organic pasilla pepper purees is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly matching its narrow product scope. State and local governments buying under this code purchase shelf-stable food products for institutional food service operations — primarily state health and human services agencies operating supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. The recent solicitations tagged to this code show activity spanning Texas health and human services procurement, Georgia school districts, Oregon corrections, and Illinois institutional food service, but the opportunities actually describe broad consumable food categories (canned vegetables, proteins, condiments, fresh and frozen produce) rather than the specific pasilla pepper puree product line the code nominates. When recent solicitations do reference pepper or sauce products, they appear as single line items within much larger food procurement bids encompassing dozens or hundreds of line items. Issuing bodies include state health departments, state corrections agencies, county school districts, and municipal school systems, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice appearing as repeat buyers of institutional food products at scale.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on the most recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026) encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for senior services (due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for a comprehensive school nutrition food bid spanning hundreds of line items across produce, meat, dairy, and dry goods (due June 15, 2026). Most institutional food procurement uses IFB notice type with response dates ranging from one to four weeks. The code shows little dedicated procurement activity for organic pasilla pepper purees as a standalone product; vendors pursuing this code should expect to bid as component suppliers within much larger food distribution contracts where pepper products appear as secondary line items alongside proteins, dairy, and staple produce.
