UNSPSC 50595507: Dried Non GMO kapia peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO kapia 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 50595507 Dried Non GMO kapia peppers, a Commodity code, represents a narrow specialty ingredient line within school meal and institutional food service procurement. State and local governments buying under this code procure dried kapia peppers—a specific dried pepper variety—as components of meal preparation and food-service supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies span school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners' offices; these jurisdictions procure dried peppers as line items within larger grocery and food-service competitive procurements that bundle fresh produce, processed foods, condiments, seasonings, and kitchen supplies. School districts and school boards appear as the most frequent buyers, typically issuing IFBs and RFQs for annual nutrition contracts supporting the National School Lunch Program, Buy American provisions, and HACCP compliance.

Recent opportunities show activity across the Southeast and expanding into Texas. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple produce categories for the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 response date; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) solicited grocery items including seasonings and produce on June 30, 2026, for the Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services Department under the National School Lunch Program; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB (HHS0017449) on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026 deadline and a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services on June 3, 2026, estimated at $17.8 million over three years. The code shows no isolated opportunities for dried kapia peppers alone, indicating that pursuit under this code requires bundled food-service contract wins where peppers are minor line items subject to broader supplier qualification, insurance, and compliance requirements.
