UNSPSC 50595527: Dried Non GMO mirasol peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO mirasol 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 50595527 Dried Non-GMO Mirasol Peppers, a Commodity code, represents specialty dried peppers procured primarily by school districts and state agencies as ingredients within broader food-service and nutrition programs. State and local governments buy this code not as a standalone item but as part of comprehensive grocery procurement supporting National School Lunch Program compliance, institutional food service operations, and specialized dietary needs. The code appears in solicitations spanning fresh-produce contracts, packaged meal programs, institutional cafeteria supply chains, and centralized food-distribution networks where dried peppers function as seasoning components, ingredient inputs, or specialty food items meeting nutrition standards and Buy American requirements.

Recent activity shows school districts and state health agencies as the primary issuing bodies, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posting food and produce solicitations in the April-June 2026 window. The Commodity code does not appear as a standalone line item in the posted opportunities; instead, it sits within larger RFP, RFQ, and IFB notices for grocery items, fresh produce, senior meal services, and food consumables—indicating that procurement officers tag dried peppers under this code when they appear on ingredient lists or vendor catalogs rather than as featured items. Geographic activity centers on the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Connecticut) and Texas, driven by school-nutrition programs subject to USDA Buy American Provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products. No standalone opportunities for dried mirasol peppers at the Commodity level appear in the recent record; pursue this code by embedding capability in broader food-service and institutional meal-supply bids where the peppers serve as ingredient components.
