UNSPSC 50414011: Organic fenugreek

The variety of organic herbs known as organic fenugreek

UNSPSC 50414011 Organic fenugreek is a Commodity code that in practice tracks state and local procurement of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional feeding operations, though recent solicitations show little purchasing activity specifically under this code's nominal scope. The most recent opportunities solicited under related food-commodity categories reveal that state and local agencies are buying bulk shelf-stable groceries (canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables), frozen and prepared foods, dairy products, proteins, beverages, condiments, and disposable serviceware to supply senior centers, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and other institutional food service operations. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), state health and human services commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state comptroller statewide procurement divisions (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state agencies (State of Illinois). Awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or the bidder offering best value to the state, with evaluation based on specification compliance, delivery capability, past performance, and price; split awards by line item are common when agencies deem them advantageous.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Comptroller issuing multiple IFBs between May and August 2026 for food service groceries supporting state hospitals, state-supported living centers, and correctional facilities across multiple geographic regions. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017799 for food service groceries for Mexia State Supported Living Center due August 25, 2026, covering prepared eggs, frozen vegetables, dairy, proteins, and prepared entrees; and the Texas Comptroller issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and staples to supply multiple Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations statewide, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Contract values range from estimated guidelines of $158,000 to $1.5 million annually depending on facility size and scope; the largest procurement identified (HHS0016792v2) carried a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years.
