UNSPSC 50495431: Organic pimiento pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50495431 Organic pimiento pepper purees, a Commodity code, covers specialized pepper products that state and local governments procure as components of broader food service contracts, though the available recent activity shows no direct solicitations specifically targeting this narrow product line. Instead, this code appears within larger food procurement efforts where pepper purees and similar condiments function as line items alongside proteins, produce, and prepared foods rather than as standalone purchases.

State and local food service operations—primarily K-12 school districts, state correctional facilities, state health and human services institutions, and a small number of state agencies—issue the food contracts that would encompass pepper purees. School districts dominate the recent activity, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) all posting competitive bids for annual food supply contracts between January and June 2026. State procurement offices in Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home system), and Georgia (statewide food procurement) round out the issuing-body mix. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) seeking food and consumable products for state supported living centers with historical spend of $1.5 million; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) supplying 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and Ben Hill County Schools' annual food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) covering fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, seasonings, and condiments across four school locations. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Oregon, and Illinois, with school district procurement dominating the recent-opportunity record. All recent food service solicitations show firm fixed pricing with quarterly or semi-annual escalation provisions tied to published indices (USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, Consumer Price Index, Bureau of Labor Statistics), 12-month minimum shelf-life requirements, Buy American or domestic-content preferences, and delivery windows of 24 to 48 hours, but no recent opportunity explicitly names organic pimiento pepper purees as a line item, suggesting the code may be overtagged or used only incidentally within broader grocery categories.
