UNSPSC 50404105: Chervil

The variety of herbs known as chervil

UNSPSC 50404105 Chervil is a Commodity code that covers fresh herb ingredients, though the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reveal activity in broad-based food service procurement rather than single-ingredient purchases. State and local governments soliciting under or near this code are buying grocery supply, fresh produce, eggs, and food-service consumables to support institutional food operations at state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and child nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, state corrections agencies, county school systems, and independent school districts, with no single repeat buyer dominating the activity. The scope includes everything from fresh proteins, dairy, frozen specialty items, condiments, and prepared entrees down to food-service gloves and disposable containers—a far broader commodity family than chervil alone. Pricing is submitted as firm, fixed unit rates on standardized pricing sheets; delivery is F.O.B. destination to multiple locations within each jurisdiction; and contracts typically run one to two years with optional renewal periods extending three to five years total.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and the broader Southeast, with secondary activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with estimated contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, and HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas via IFB 304T26300CF (due May 4, 2026). In Georgia, the Douglas County School System issued separate RFPs for food supply and distribution services ($9 million estimated annual expenditure, due February 18, 2026) and fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative ($4.4 million and $1.1 million estimated for two geographic areas, due March 4, 2026). Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia solicited a master grocery K-12 contract for 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited child nutrition services grocery items over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026). The State of Illinois and State of Georgia also posted grocery and food-supply solicitations in June and May 2026 respectively, though detailed scope information was not fully available for both.
