UNSPSC 50404109: Dill

The variety of herbs known as dill

UNSPSC 50404109 Dill (Commodity) encompasses the procurement of fresh and preserved herbs and spices for institutional food service operations across state and local government. In practice, state and local buyers use this code to source dill and other culinary herbs as components of broader food supply contracts rather than as standalone line-item purchases. The recent opportunities show that dill procurement occurs almost entirely within larger grocery, produce, and food-service supplier agreements serving institutional kitchens, school nutrition programs, and state-run facilities including correctional institutions, state hospitals, and supported living centers. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, state correctional departments, school districts, and cooperative purchasing consortiums. The mix reflects institutional food service demand: Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the State of Illinois, the State of Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posted food supply solicitations during the past six months that encompass herbs and spices as line items within comprehensive grocery catalogs.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice) posted multiple IFBs between February and July 2026 for supplemental food and consumables and cafeteria food products with response deadlines ranging from March through July 2026 and estimated contract values including one HHSC solicitation at up to $4.5 million over three years. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued two RFPs in January and February 2026 for food supply and distribution and fresh produce and eggs with a March and February response deadlines, respectively, and estimated annual expenditures of $9 million and $5.5 million combined. Fairfax County Public Schools posted an IFB for Master Grocery K-12 with an April 27, 2026 response deadline covering delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items for the 2026-27 school year with an April 29, 2026 electronic bid deadline and over 900 line items. The State of Georgia and State of Illinois each posted smaller food supply solicitations in May and June 2026. None of the recent opportunities isolate dill as a separately bid item; all treat herbs and spices as embedded line items within larger institutional food catalogs where evaluation focuses on total cost, vendor qualifications, delivery capability, and specification compliance.
