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 captures specialized food ingredients procured by state and local education and social-service agencies to support school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and senior meal operations. State and local solicitations under this code reflect demand for USDA-compliant produce meeting Buy American provisions (typically 51 percent domestic agricultural content), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and rigorous food-safety certifications including HACCP plans, documented health inspections, and blind testing protocols. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state agencies administering nutrition programs; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida all posted recent opportunities under related food-procurement codes that encompass specialty produce items as line items within broader grocery or fresh-produce solicitations.

Recent activity shows school districts and state health agencies across the Southeast and Texas soliciting produce through IFB and ITB notices with firm-fixed pricing and 48-hour-to-48-day delivery windows. The City of Bridgeport's June 30, 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (BNB052266), Hancock County Schools' June 26, 2026 fresh-produce IFB spanning 200+ items including peppers and specialty vegetables (PE67080NONST2027000000013), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 13, 2026 IFB for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449) represent the primary market. The State of Georgia posted a food-supplies and kitchen-products solicitation due June 22, 2026 (PE55645NONST2026000000009), though the full scope remains in an attached PDF. Contract values range from routine annual school-meal cycles to state-level institutional-food operations; the Hillsborough County senior-meals contract totaled $17,832,659.90 over three years, indicating significant volume in integrated food-service platforms where dried peppers and specialty produce serve as ingredient components rather than standalone line items.
