UNSPSC 50344801: Frozen bog myrtle

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

UNSPSC 50344801 Frozen bog myrtle, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. State and local procurement databases tag food-service contracts under this code inconsistently, and the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting bog myrtle or botanicals matching that description. The code's abstract definition does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying in the opportunities posted since January 2026.

State and local food procurement activity is robust across the nation, but it centers on mainstream grocery and produce categories—fresh vegetables, frozen fruits and berries, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods—rather than specialty botanicals. School districts, state health agencies, county detention facilities, and public-sector food-service operations in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, California, Connecticut, Florida, and Oregon have posted competitive solicitations for comprehensive grocery supplies, fresh produce contracts, frozen foods, and institutional food service, with response dates ranging from February through July 2026 and estimated annual values spanning from under $1 million to $9 million. Representative examples include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for school nutrition (due June 30, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for a $9 million food supply and distribution contract (due February 18, 2026). The code itself is tagged to general food procurements that do not reference bog myrtle or related specialty ingredients. Unless your firm supplies bulk botanicals or specialty food ingredients to institutional kitchens, this code warrants a skip.
