UNSPSC 50404127: Verdulaga

The variety of herbs known as verdulaga

UNSPSC 50404127 Verdulaga is a Commodity code covering fresh and processed produce items, including leafy greens, that state and local governments procure for food service, congregate meal programs, and institutional cafeteria operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing verdulaga and related fresh vegetables as components of broader food service supply contracts for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, county social services programs, and school food services. The code is part of a larger ecosystem of produce and food commodity procurement; state agencies and county governments typically tag verdulaga purchases within multi-item food service RFQs and IFBs that specify produce categories alongside proteins, dairy, and shelf-stable items rather than as standalone single-commodity procurements. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, county commissioners' offices, state departments of criminal justice, school districts, and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple user agencies.

Texas and Georgia dominate recent activity under this code family. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products to state-supported living centers and state hospitals statewide, including HHS0017798 and HHS0017799 (canteen and food service groceries for Mexia State Supported Living Center, bids due August 25, 2026), and HHS0017449 (food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center, bids due July 13, 2026); HHSC also solicited supplemental food and consumable products under HHS0016792V2 with a bid deadline of March 19, 2026 and a maximum potential contract value of $4,500,000 over three years. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an RFQ (PE77023NONST2027000000782) for approximately 1,062 cases of food items including canned vegetables and shelf-stable products for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, procured cafeteria food products under IFB 304T-26-300CF with a response deadline of May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2). The State of Illinois and State of Georgia also posted food service procurement solicitations with broader scope. Geographic concentration in Texas and Georgia reflects population density and scale of state institutional food service operations, though the code sees ongoing activity across multiple states and issuing-body types.
