UNSPSC 50595522: Dried Non GMO guerro peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO guerro 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 50595522 Dried Non GMO guerro peppers is a Commodity-level code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service and school nutrition supply contracts. Recent solicitations show the code's scope embedded within larger grocery and food-product buys—districts and public bodies tag dried peppers and similar specialty produce items when sourcing for school lunch programs, senior nutrition services, and institutional food preparation. The work solicited under this code spans institutional food purchasing by school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county government food service operations. Vendors typically supply dried peppers and related produce to institutional food service providers operating under National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content, and nutritional standards established by the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. Contracts require HACCP food safety plans, product testing by school and laboratory personnel, compliance with state health inspections, and delivery logistics coordinated through school-based ordering systems or centralized procurement platforms.

Recent opportunities cite this code within multi-item solicitations across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery-items IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) encompasses over 1,100 line items spanning vegetables, seasonings, and condiments; the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) specifies multiple produce categories across three school delivery locations in Georgia; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) supports the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-year spend of $1.5 million. The Hillsborough County senior-meal contract (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026) carries an estimated value of $17.8 million over three years and requires state-licensed caterers. School districts dominate recent activity, followed by county human services and health agencies; individual dried-pepper line items appear within these broad grocery and produce solicitations rather than standalone commodity buys.
