UNSPSC 50414002: Organic bay leaves

The variety of organic herbs known as organic bay leaves

UNSPSC 50414002 Organic bay leaves is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct match to state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities in the source are tagged under this code but solicit broad food and consumable products for institutional food service rather than organic bay leaves specifically. State and local governments purchase groceries for public schools, health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, and other state operations through a mix of issuing bodies including state health and human services commissions, school districts, state departments of criminal justice, and county school systems. The work involves supplying complete food service operations with proteins, produce, dairy, prepared entrees, staple items, condiments, and disposable food service supplies on firm fixed-price contracts typically running one to three years with optional renewals.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice) are repeat buyers, having posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables serving state hospitals, state supported living centers, and correctional facilities with contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years and estimated annual spending in the millions. School districts—including Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Douglas County School System in Georgia—solicit grocery supply contracts serving thousands of daily meals with annual expenditures ranging from roughly $4.4 to $9 million. A representative recent opportunity is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, posted June 11, 2026, with responses due July 13, 2026, covering food service, supply services, and canteen operations on a firm fixed-price contract basis. Another is Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12, posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026, establishing a grocery product supply and delivery contract for 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries across Fairfax County, Virginia.
