UNSPSC 50595529: Dried Non GMO peperoncini peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO peperoncini 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 50595529 Dried Non GMO peperoncini peppers is a Commodity code that captures specialty dried pepper products sourced as ingredients for institutional food service, meal preparation, and nutrition programs operated by state and local agencies. State and local governments procure dried peperoncini peppers primarily as components within broader grocery, food supply, and meal-service contracts rather than as standalone line items; the peppers function as seasoning and ingredient inputs to support school nutrition programs, senior meal services, facility food operations, and similar institutional food preparation. Issuing bodies include school districts (at both state-funded and independent board levels), county boards of education, state health and human services agencies operating residential or day-program facilities, and county boards of commissioners managing senior nutrition and congregate meal services. The work spans multi-year food supply agreements with firm pricing, compliance-heavy regulatory frameworks (including Buy American requirements, HACCP plans, nutrition standards, and vendor performance tracking), and delivery to multiple school sites, meal centers, and facility locations on firm fixed-price or unit-rate bases.

Geographic activity shows recent solicitation across the Southeast (Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, Texas) and Northeast (Connecticut), with issuing bodies including the Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with June 30, 2026 response date), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB for fresh produce including peppers with June 26, 2026 response date), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449 with July 13, 2026 response date and prior-period value of $1.5 million), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida (ITB for senior meal services estimated at $17.8 million over three years), the State of Georgia (solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 due June 22, 2026), and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi (bid for packaged meal boxes due April 29, 2026). Peperoncini peppers as a discrete UNSPSC commodity see minimal standalone solicitation; they appear embedded in institutional food contracts where seasoning and condiment line items are bundled with broader produce, protein, and grocery sourcing.
