UNSPSC 50171554: Herbs stems and seeds for brews

Variety of herbs, stems and seeds for brews.

UNSPSC 50171554 Herbs stems and seeds for brews is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The most recent solicitations—from Gwinnett County, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the State of Illinois, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts—are procuring broad food service groceries, cafeteria products, and consumable supplies including proteins, dairy, frozen entrees, grains, beverages, condiments, and disposable serviceware for state institutions, county senior services centers, and correctional facilities. None of these opportunities reference herbal teas, herbal brews, or botanicals for brewing. The code's nominal scope and actual buying activity show no meaningful connection; state and local procurement under this code shows little relevant recent activity.

The issuing bodies soliciting food service goods are state health and human services commissions (Texas), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state procurement divisions (Illinois, Georgia, Texas Comptroller's office), and criminal justice departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's bids for food service groceries and canteen items for state supported living centers (IFBs HHS0017799, HHS0017798, HHS0017449), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), the Texas Comptroller's IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic regions serving the Department of Criminal Justice (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026), and the State of Illinois' quarterly weekly food order (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026). Geographic activity centers on Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois. The mismatch between the Commodity code designation and the food service scope of recent solicitations suggests either a tagging error in the source data or dormant procurement activity under this specific UNSPSC designation.
