UNSPSC 50595524: Dried Non GMO hungarian wax peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO hungarian wax 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 50595524 Dried Non GMO hungarian wax peppers is a Commodity code that captures specialized produce items purchased by state and local governments, though the recent-opportunities block shows minimal direct procurement activity for this specific product. State and local school districts, counties, and municipalities do solicit dried and specialty peppers as line items within larger grocery and produce contracts, but the code itself does not anchor a distinct solicitation stream. Recent activity shows that dried peppers, including specialty varieties, typically appear as single line items embedded in comprehensive school nutrition grocery bids spanning hundreds of product categories—breakfast items, condiments, seasonings, frozen goods, fresh produce, and protein sources—rather than as standalone procurements. Issuing bodies in this space are predominantly school districts (including county boards of education and municipal school systems) supplemented by state health and human services agencies supplying institutional food-service operations. School districts represent the largest and most consistent buyer cohort, with multiple districts issuing annual grocery or produce contracts that reference detailed specification lists including seasoning items and specialty produce.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Florida, with significant activity also in Connecticut and Texas. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) have all issued recent comprehensive grocery or produce solicitations that establish product specifications at the line-item level. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement for the El Paso State Supported Living Center and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' senior-meal services represent non-education institutional food-service buyers operating in the same supply chain. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery IFB (1,100+ line items, Net 45 payment terms, delivered to central warehouse and school sites); Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB for July 2026–June 2027 (200+ line items across multiple produce categories, firm pricing, three delivery locations); and Bulloch County Board of Education's April 2026 school nutrition grocery bid (multiple food categories, 14 designated school sites, July 2026–June 2027 term with renewal options). Dried specialty peppers would be candidates for inclusion as line-item specifications in these solicitations, though no recent opportunity explicitly names dried Hungarian wax peppers in isolation.
