UNSPSC 50404105: Chervil

The variety of herbs known as chervil

UNSPSC 50404105 Chervil, a Commodity code, represents fresh herb and specialty produce items that state and local governments procure as components of broader food service and supply contracts. Recent solicitations show that this code appears within larger food procurement efforts where chervil and similar fresh herbs are specified among dozens of shelf-stable, frozen, fresh, and refrigerated food products supplied to state institutions, county senior services programs, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, state comptroller procurement divisions coordinating on behalf of criminal justice or corrections systems, county purchasing offices, and state education or facilities management divisions. These jurisdictions solicit food service supplies through IFBs and RFQs with firm, fixed unit pricing on detailed item-by-item pricing sheets; awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on a best-value basis accounting for specification compliance, delivery performance, and price.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for state-supported living centers and state hospitals, including HHS0017799 (Mexia food service groceries, August 25, 2026 response deadline) and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, July 13, 2026 response deadline), with historical monetary values in the hundreds of thousands to $1.5 million annually. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued PE77023NONST2027000000782 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (October 19, 2026 response deadline), and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas (May 4, 2026 response deadline, extended via addendum). The State of Illinois and State of Georgia have also posted food procurement solicitations in 2026. Chervil typically appears as one line item among 35 to 210 food and supply items, with no-substitution requirements and brand-specific or approved-equivalent options; delivery windows are narrow and penalties for late delivery or non-compliance are contractual obligations borne by the vendor.
