UNSPSC 50595519: Dried Non GMO chiltecpin peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO chiltecpin 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 50595519 Dried Non GMO chiltecpin peppers is a Commodity code that represents specialty dried peppers procured by state and local food service operations. State and local governments purchase this and related dried pepper products primarily through school nutrition programs, institutional food service contracts, and state food procurement vehicles. The issuing bodies span school districts (independent and county-level), county commissioners' offices overseeing senior services, state health and human services agencies, and municipal departments supporting education food programs. School districts dominate the recent activity, with purchases integrated into broader grocery and produce solicitations that emphasize compliance with National School Lunch Program standards, Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition requirements. Institutional buyers such as state-supported living centers also procure food and consumable products under the code as part of comprehensive food service operations.

Recent opportunities show activity across the Southeast and Southwest. The City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (due June 30, 2026) supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department represents a typical school-district-led grocery solicitation; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) demonstrates state agency food procurement; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) in Georgia shows continued school district activity; and Hillsborough County's three-year senior meal services contract (estimated at $17.8 million, due June 25, 2026) illustrates county-level food service demand. The Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi solicited child nutrition summer packaged meal boxes (April 29, 2026), and the State of Georgia posted a broad food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026). The geographic spread spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with school nutrition programs and senior services representing the primary demand drivers.
