UNSPSC 50595513: Dried Non GMO anaheim peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO anaheim 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 50595513 Dried Non GMO anaheim peppers is a Commodity code that encompasses dried specialty pepper products sourced for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and government facility meal preparation. State and local governments procure this item as a component of broader fresh and processed produce contracts for school districts, health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs. The work does not involve manufacturing or value-added processing — vendors supply finished dried peppers meeting nutritional standards, allergen compliance (nut-free), labeling requirements under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and Buy American domestic-content thresholds (typically 51 percent for processed agricultural commodities). Issuing bodies span school districts (primary), state health and human services departments, county boards of education, and municipal public-purchase departments. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, driven by federal Child Nutrition Program requirements and state procurement calendars aligned to academic years.

Recent opportunities show scattered geographic activity across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posted an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items including vegetables and seasonings due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce spanning peppers and specialty vegetables for the 2026–27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 due July 11, 2026; and Hillsborough County (Florida) issued an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years due June 25, 2026. The Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) solicited packaged meal boxes for summer food service with bids due April 29, 2026. These opportunities cluster in school nutrition cycles and state agency food service contracting. The code shows limited standalone activity — dried peppers typically appear as line items within multi-hundred-item grocery or produce aggregates rather than as sole-source commodities, reflecting the narrow specialization of the product.
