UNSPSC 50414003: Organic borage

The variety of organic herbs known as organic borage

UNSPSC 50414003 Organic borage is a Commodity code that captures food ingredient and specialty item procurement by state and local agencies, though recent opportunities under this code do not isolate organic borage specifically — instead, they reflect broad grocery and food service contracting where borage and other specialty botanicals may be embedded within larger produce, ingredient, or food supply frameworks. State and local buyers under this code include departments of health and human services managing institutional food service, school districts sourcing meals for student nutrition, state criminal justice systems provisioning inmate meals, and specialized facilities such as state supported living centers. The work being solicited ranges from narrow ingredient catalogs to comprehensive weekly or annual grocery supply agreements covering hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, frozen goods, condiments, and consumable supplies, with firm fixed pricing and delivery requirements to multiple institutional locations.

The most active recent jurisdictions are Texas (through the Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice, and Comptroller of Public Accounts), Georgia (Douglas County and Rockwood School Systems through the GEC Buying Cooperative), Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a response due July 13, 2026; the Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items 2026-2027 with bids due April 29, 2026, covering over 900 line items for approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast daily participants; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 with response due April 27, 2026, requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One, due March 4, 2026. Texas leads with multiple concurrent procurements including TDCJ's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products with extended response date of May 4, 2026, and supplemental food and consumable awards extending through August 2028 with maximum potential value of $4.5 million. All solicitations require firm fixed pricing, proof of insurance, compliance with food safety and USDA grade standards, and responsive delivery capability to distributed institutional locations.
