UNSPSC 50414000: Organic herbs

The type of organic vegetable known as organic herbs

UNSPSC 50414000 Organic herbs is a Class code covering fresh and dried herbs and herb-based food products, though recent state and local opportunities show the code applied broadly to comprehensive food supply and grocery procurement rather than herbs alone. State and local agencies soliciting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, Salt Lake City School District), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections), state departments of criminal justice (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and county food service operations. The work encompasses weekly grocery supply, cafeteria food products for correctional and state-supported living facilities, fresh produce delivery to schools, and comprehensive food service distribution supporting thousands of daily meals across multiple locations.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Utah. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two supplemental food and consumables procurements (HHS0016792 and HHS0017449) with a combined estimated value of $4.5 million over three years, serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide; the Texas Comptroller issued an IFB for cafeteria food products to the Department of Criminal Justice (304T26300CF) covering approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas with response due May 4, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323) for weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, with bids due April 27, 2026. The Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) sought grocery items supporting 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast daily participants via electronic bid due April 29, 2026. The Salt Lake City School District issued an IFB for fresh produce delivery to 38 schools (DH2647FPD, bids due April 1, 2026), and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) posted two cooperative purchasing RFPs: one for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) and a second for food supply and distribution services serving 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual expenditure (26-003, due February 18, 2026).
