UNSPSC 50495436: Organic tai pepper purees

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

UNSPSC 50495436 Organic tai pepper purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually procuring under this tag. The recent opportunities associated with the code show no solicitations for organic tai pepper purees; instead, they show institutional food service purchasing at a scale and scope that bears no relationship to the code's narrow nominal category. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are all soliciting consumable food products—canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy items, condiments, grains, prepared entrees, and service supplies—for state hospitals, state supported living centers, senior centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are state agencies and school districts purchasing across dozens to hundreds of line items for institutional feeding operations that serve thousands of meals annually.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with the heaviest concentration in Texas state institutions and Georgia school districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with annual delivery at the facility; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and canned vegetables (due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better with delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem (due June 19, 2026). The code shows no recent activity aligned to its stated commodity—organic tai pepper purees do not appear in any of these solicitations—indicating either miscoding at the source or that the code itself does not capture meaningful state and local procurement demand.
