UNSPSC 50595530: Dried Non GMO pequin peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO pequin 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 50595530 Dried Non GMO pequin peppers is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's specificity — dried pequin peppers with non-GMO designation — does not map to the work documented in the most recent solicitations under this taxonomy entry. The recent opportunities span school nutrition programs (breakfast and lunch supply), senior meal preparation and delivery, fresh produce procurement for school districts and state agencies, and generic grocery and food supply contracts. None of the posted solicitations explicitly name dried pequin peppers or similar specialty dried chili products; instead, they request comprehensive fresh produce, boxed meals, seasonings within larger ingredient categories, or broad food-supply contracts where dried pequin peppers would be one line item among hundreds.

State and local procurement activity under the broader food and nutrition taxonomy is concentrated in school districts (Bridgeport Public Schools, Connecticut; Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia; Bulloch County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Meriden Public Schools, Connecticut; Douglas County School System, Georgia; Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Mississippi) and county or municipal authorities procuring meal services (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Florida; City of Dallas, Texas; Texas Health and Human Services Commission). Recent RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs have closed or are closing in the June–July 2026 window; representative examples include Bridgeport's grocery bid (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County's fresh produce solicitation (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Hillsborough County's senior meal services contract (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026). The code's extreme specificity and the absence of dried pequin peppers in any of these documented solicitations suggest minimal current pursuit opportunity at the state and local level.
