UNSPSC 50595532: Dried Non GMO poblano peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO poblano peppers that has 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 50595532 Dried Non GMO poblano peppers (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. State and local governments procure dried poblano peppers as part of broader grocery and food-service solicitations under school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and senior meal delivery, but recent opportunities reflect large-scale food and consumable product bundles rather than single-commodity ingredient purchases. The code appears in institutional food service contexts where school districts, county commissioners, and state health agencies source ingredients for student lunches, congregate senior dining, and residential facility meals—but recent solicitations typically consolidate dozens or hundreds of line items (fresh produce, pantry staples, proteins, seasonings, and processed goods) into single RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs rather than isolating dried poblano peppers as a standalone contract line item. Issuing bodies span school districts (Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and state supported-living centers.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with no single region dominating. The City of Bridgeport's Grocery Items solicitation (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spans 1,100+ line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education and includes seasonings and condiments under Buy American provision requirements; Hancock County Board of Education's Fresh Produce bid (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) itemizes 200+ produce SKUs but does not isolate dried peppers; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products bid (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center and statewide use valued at $1.5 million historically; and Hillsborough County's Senior Meals Preparation and Delivery Services contract (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026) valued at $17.8 million over three years covers prepared meals rather than ingredient sourcing. The code shows little evidence of being solicited as a distinct commodity line and does not appear independently in recent state and local contract notices.
