UNSPSC 50595516: Dried Non GMO cascabel peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO cascabel 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 50595516 Dried Non GMO cascabel peppers is a Commodity code that describes specialty dried peppers for food service and institutional meal programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and public health agencies purchasing dried peppers as ingredients for large-scale food service operations. The work involves supplying dried produce to central warehouses and commissaries that support school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery services, and state-supported living facilities. Recent solicitations show that cascabel peppers and similar dried specialty peppers are procured as part of broader food and consumable product contracts that span multiple ingredient categories, with vendors required to meet USDA compliance, nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, Buy American Provision thresholds (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), and food safety certifications including HACCP plans and health inspection documentation.

State and local issuing bodies include school districts across multiple states, county boards of education, state health agencies, and county commissioners. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education posted an IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items due June 30, 2026, spanning vegetables, seasonings, and condiments with deliveries to a central warehouse at 113 Federal Street and school sites; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items across multiple produce categories for delivery to three school locations; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 with responses due July 11, 2026, with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years due June 25, 2026.
