UNSPSC 50324801: Dried bog myrtle

The variety of myrtle known as bog myrtle that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324801 Dried bog myrtle, a Commodity code, nominally addresses dried bog myrtle but shows virtually no alignment between the code's stated scope and the recent state and local solicitations posted under it. The most recent opportunities—school district nutrition procurement, state corrections foodservice, and municipal nutrition center supply—involve fresh produce, cafeteria food products, and dried fruits (prunes), none of which match dried bog myrtle. The issuing bodies include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the State of Georgia, school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia and the Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and the City of Bridgeport's Department of Public Purchases. These are primarily state corrections agencies, school nutrition programs, and municipal foodservice operations. All recent opportunities require USDA compliance, Buy American provisions with minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, firm fixed pricing for contract terms, and itemized delivery to specified locations.

The code shows recent activity in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia; IFB due June 26, 2026; over 200 line items of fresh produce including apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items for delivery to three school locations); Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center Commodities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases; IFB due June 26, 2026; 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products); Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ; IFB due May 4, 2026; approximately 382 line items of proteins, specialty entrees, dairy, grains, and staples for multiple warehouse locations); and TDCJ Prunes procurement (bid due February 20, 2026; 1,400 boxes of U.S. Grade B dried prunes, 60–70 count size). The code exhibits a mismatch between its nominal classification and actual procurement activity—the opportunities reflect broad foodservice commodity procurement, not bog myrtle specifically.
