UNSPSC 50414012 Organic lemon grass, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce staples and specialty food items that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, including long-term care facilities, correctional institutions, state hospitals, senior services centers, and state-supported living centers. The code sees steady activity across food service supply contracts spanning cafeteria products, canteen groceries, and general food service stock replenishment. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state comptroller procurement offices acting on behalf of criminal justice departments, county boards of commissioners, and state procurement divisions. The scope of actual procurement spans proteins, dairy products, frozen entrees, canned and fresh vegetables, condiments, and specialty items with firm, fixed unit pricing tied to exact specifications and often tied to Consumer Price Index adjustments at renewal periods. Vendors must meet USDA grade and food safety standards, handle delivery logistics including after-hours unloading, and resolve quality complaints within specified timeframes.

Texas Health and Human Services Commission dominates recent activity, having issued multiple IFBs for state-supported living centers in Mexia and El Paso with response deadlines in August and July 2026, spanning food service groceries, canteen groceries, and frozen products at historical values ranging from $158,000 to $1.5 million annually. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services with delivery by December 7, 2026. Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse regions with response due May 4, 2026, spanning approximately 382 line items and a contract term through August 31, 2027 with two one-year renewal options. The State of Georgia and State of Illinois both issued food supply solicitations in May and June 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois.
