UNSPSC 50404110: Epazote

The variety of herbs known as epazote

UNSPSC 50404110 Epazote is a Commodity code designating a culinary herb with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The single explicitly relevant opportunity in the recent-opportunities block—the Illinois IVHQ weekly food order (solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026)—names epazote only as a potential item category within a broader grocery or food supply procurement, with no dedicated line items or volume specified. The remaining opportunities in the dataset are general food and consumable products for institutional food service across school districts, correctional facilities, and state health and human services agencies, spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees, but do not isolate epazote as a procurement focus. The code does not surface as a primary sourcing category in recent state and local RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs; buyers needing epazote treat it as one item within broader food supply contracts rather than as a dedicated commodity line.

State and local demand for epazote under this code is not currently evident in recent solicitation activity. The issuing bodies with active food procurement—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia—are acquiring large volumes of mainstream food commodities (proteins, produce, dairy, grains) and prepared items for institutional meal programs. None of the recent opportunities identify epazote by name, volume, or line item. If your firm supplies specialty herbs or ethnic food ingredients, this code shows little current procurement signal; pursuit would depend on establishing direct relationships with food service buyers or distributors in institutional contexts rather than responding to published solicitations keyed to this specific UNSPSC designation.
