UNSPSC 50404108: Curry leaves

The variety of herbs known as curry leaves

UNSPSC 50404108 Curry leaves is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this tag. Recent opportunities posted under this code span large-scale food procurement for institutional operations—school district cafeterias, state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, and state hospitals—but curry leaves as a discrete line item do not appear in any of the recent solicitations. The actual work being bought includes master grocery contracts for K-12 child nutrition, supplemental food and consumable products for state-supported living centers and psychiatric hospitals, fresh produce and eggs for multi-district school networks, and institutional foodservice supply across multiple categories (proteins, dairy, grains, frozen specialties, condiments, gloves, containers) at scale. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, large school districts, and state procurement offices acting on behalf of corrections departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts are repeat issuers in recent postings. A single Illinois state procurement appears in the block as well.

Geographically, the most recent solicitation activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ postings), Georgia (Douglas County and state-level school nutrition), Missouri (Rockwood), and Virginia (Fairfax County), with one Illinois posting. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with responses due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP classes 385, 390, 380, and 393 with a prior-year spend of $1.5 million; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, requiring delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens with a one-year term from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027; the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery items RFP for 2026–27, due April 29, 2026, encompassing over 900 line items for approximately 19,000 students; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN26-003 for food supply and distribution covering 32 schools with approximately $9,000,000 annual expenditure, due February 18, 2026. The code classification appears to be a data-entry error; treat this as a low-signal category for the discrete commodity named, but monitor institutional foodservice procurement activity in these jurisdictions under broader UNSPSC family codes spanning food supply and school nutrition.
