UNSPSC 50595525: Dried Non GMO jalapeno peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO jalapeno 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 50595525 Dried Non GMO jalapeno peppers, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line that state and local governments procure as a component of broader food service and nutrition programs rather than as a standalone item. Recent solicitations show the code embedded within large-scale school nutrition, senior services, and institutional food supply contracts where dried jalapenos appear as one line item among hundreds in comprehensive grocery or fresh produce bids. The buying pattern reflects consolidated procurement by school districts, county education boards, state-supported facilities, and municipal nutrition departments that source food items through master grocery contracts, fresh produce agreements, and food service distribution arrangements. State and local jurisdictions procure dried jalapeno peppers and similar specialty condiments as part of compliance with nutrition standards, menu variety requirements, and dietary accommodation needs rather than as dedicated commodity purchases.

Recent activity concentrates in school nutrition procurement across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) solicited grocery items under IFB BNB052266 due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items including condiments and seasonings; Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #043025 closing May 4, 2026 for comprehensive school nutrition products including spices and condiments; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) released IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026 for master grocery K-12 across 45 schools; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) bid fresh produce and processed items under Bid 26-34 due April 23, 2026; Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) issued RFP 026-41 due February 25, 2026 for commercial groceries and USDA Foods across 13 school sites with anticipated contract value of $3.1 million; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) released RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution due February 18, 2026 supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. Dried jalapeno peppers do not appear as discrete line items in any posted solicitation summary, indicating limited standalone demand at the commodity level and tight integration within broader food supply frameworks.
