UNSPSC 50495434: Organic serrano pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50495434 Organic serrano pepper purees is a Commodity code. State and local procurement offices rarely solicit this specific item directly; the recent opportunities show that organic serrano pepper purees fall within much broader food-service categories being procured by institutional buyers. The code appears in state and local purchasing as part of large consumables food bids issued by state health agencies, school districts, correctional departments, and senior services divisions that source dozens or hundreds of food line items at once. When the code is tagged, it reflects granular ingredient or condiment lines buried in meal-preparation supply chains—sauces, seasonings, peppers, and related condiments used in institutional kitchens for state hospitals, supported living centers, schools, and correctional facilities. The actual buying pattern is consolidated, multi-line-item procurement where serrano pepper purees compete for award against dozens of other ingredients and supplies, not standalone solicitations for the pepper puree itself. Vendors pursuing this code typically respond as food distributors with broad inventory reach rather than specialty producers of single pepper products.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple institutional food bids in 2026, including IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) and HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026 at 10:30 a.m.), both requesting consumable foods spanning sauces and condiments across dozens of line items. Georgia school districts including Burke County Public Schools (sealed bid due June 5, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) issued similar multi-category food solicitations. Oregon and Illinois also show recent activity—Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato bid (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026), and the State of Illinois solicited a quarterly food order (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026). None of the posted opportunities specifically named organic serrano pepper purees as a line item or set it apart; the code sits within much larger institutional food supply contracts where sauces and condiments are lumped with produce, proteins, and supplies. Responsiveness to the code at the commodity level depends on inclusion in a distributor's catalog and ability to price competitively within consolidated bids against dozens of competing suppliers.
