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 is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it show no activity for dried mirasol peppers specifically. The most recent opportunities in this code's record span grocery supply to school districts, senior meal services, fresh produce, and boxed meal delivery across multiple states—none of which name dried peppers as a line item or procurement focus. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests this Commodity code does not reflect active procurement demand in state and local markets, or the opportunities have been miscoded at source.

Across the fourteen opportunities posted between January and July 2026, school nutrition programs dominate the activity, with districts in Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia soliciting comprehensive food supply contracts under RFP, RFQ, and ITB vehicles. Larger school systems—Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, and the Douglas County School System—have issued multi-million-dollar food supply RFPs (with contract values reaching approximately $9 million at Douglas County and $3.1 million at Meriden); these favor master grocers and main-line distributors with five years' prior experience in K-12 school nutrition, firm fixed pricing, and compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content minimum) and HACCP food safety protocols. Senior meal services and event catering appear in the record as well, including Hillsborough County's three-year senior meal delivery contract (estimated at $17.8 million) and the City of Dallas's five-year boxed meal delivery RFP. Neither school districts nor senior-service authorities nor meal-delivery vendors mention dried mirasol peppers or specialty pepper products in their detailed line-item specifications, which instead emphasize fresh produce staples (apples, berries, leafy greens, potatoes, carrots, onions), frozen and canned items, dairy, and prepared foods. The code shows no decision-relevant procurement activity for the specialty commodity it names.
