UNSPSC 50595511: Dried Non GMO yellow chile peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO yellow chile 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 50595511 Dried Non-GMO yellow chile peppers is a Commodity code that names a single food ingredient, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations matching this specific product and shows instead a broad pattern of school nutrition, senior meal service, and institutional food procurement activity — fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, and meal preparation contracts across multiple states, but no discrete solicitations for dried chiles. The code itself refers to a narrow commodity line item, but state and local procurement does not appear to be sourcing dried yellow chiles as a standalone contract vehicle at present. The activity in the opportunities block skews heavily toward school districts, county boards of education, and municipal purchasing offices competing for bulk fresh produce, complete grocery supply, and meal service across breakfast, lunch, and senior nutrition programs. Issuing bodies include Bridgeport Public Schools and the Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut), Hancock County and Savannah-Chatham County school systems (Georgia), Bulloch County and Douglas County school systems (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state-supported living centers, Hillsborough County government (Florida), the City of Dallas, and the State of Georgia. Most solicitations are structured as ITBs, IFBs, or RFPs with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, and Net 30–45 payment terms.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, State of Georgia procurement), with secondary clusters in Florida, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items across breakfast, frozen, produce, and meat categories with electronic bidding due June 30, 2026; the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million and proposals due March 4, 2026; and Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated contract value of $17.8 million over three years and bids due June 25, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB called for supply to 45 schools plus distribution centers with response due April 27, 2026. Most school-nutrition contracts run July 1 through June 30 annually with renewal options, and all carry federal Buy American and Child Nutrition Program compliance requirements. While dried chile peppers may appear as a line item within comprehensive grocery or food-service solicitations, the code itself does not attract standalone procurement activity in the recent data.
