UNSPSC 50595503: Dried Non GMO cheese peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO cheese peppers that have been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50595503 Dried Non-GMO Cheese Peppers, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct procurement activity under its exact specification in recent state and local solicitations, though the code sits within broader fresh produce and specialty food categories that state and local governments purchase regularly for school nutrition, senior meal programs, and institutional food service. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span school districts, counties, state agencies, and senior services authorities across multiple states, purchasing comprehensive grocery and produce assortments that include peppers and other fresh or processed vegetables as line items within larger food supply contracts. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) have all issued recent solicitations for master grocery, fresh produce, or food supply contracts that encompass peppers and specialty produce items. State health and human services agencies also procure under related codes: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (El Paso State Supported Living Center) and the Georgia Department of Education have posted food-supply contracts. County commissioners and municipalities round out the buyer base—Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited senior meal delivery; the City of Dallas and City of Bridgeport issued catering and grocery bids. The geographic spread covers Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County), Connecticut (Meriden), Florida (Hillsborough County), Virginia (Fairfax County), Texas (El Paso), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier).

Representative recent solicitations show the actual work being procured. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, on behalf of Bridgeport Board of Education, posted IFB BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026) for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program, with 51-percent Buy American domestic content required and deliveries to schools Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 procurement across 45 schools and distribution kitchens, requiring bidders to supply a minimum of 76 items with firm fixed pricing and 365-day price hold from contract award. Bulloch County Board of Education posted IFB #043025 (due May 4, 2026) covering multiple food categories including canned and frozen vegetables, fresh produce, dairy, meats, and spices for 14 school delivery sites, with weekly Monday–Friday deliveries 7:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. and an initial contract period July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027. The Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with an estimated annual spend of $5.5 million across two geographic areas. These solicitations embed dried peppers, fresh peppers, and specialty produce within larger assortments, indicating that isolated dried non-GMO cheese pepper procurement at the Commodity level is not separately tracked but rather flows as a line item within master grocery or produce contracts where volume and price are negotiated at the contract level.
