UNSPSC 50414004: Organic caraway

The variety of organic herbs known as organic caraway

UNSPSC 50414004 Organic caraway is a Commodity code that, in recent state and local practice, appears primarily under food-service and institutional-supply solicitations, though the recent opportunities block does not show procurement specifically tagged to organic caraway. The opportunities posted under this code span shelf-stable groceries for senior services, state-supported living centers, state hospitals, cafeteria operations, and weekly food fulfillment for state facilities. Issuing bodies include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia. These are primarily state health and human services agencies, county purchasing divisions, and state procurement offices handling food service for custodial, residential, and meal-service operations. The scope of work under this code encompasses firm, fixed unit pricing on bulk food items spanning proteins, dairy, frozen goods, produce, condiments, and consumable serviceware, with stringent requirements for USDA grade compliance, no substitutions without approval, delivery within specified windows (typically 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., excluding midday cutoffs), and warranty resolution within 90 days.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations posted in June–August 2026), Georgia (Gwinnett County in October 2026 and the State of Georgia in May 2026), and Illinois (State of Illinois in June 2026).
