UNSPSC 50414012: Organic lemon grass

The variety of organic herbs known as organic lemon gras organics

UNSPSC 50414012 Organic lemon grass (Commodity) describes specialty produce ingredients sourced by state and local government food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show minimal activity focused on organic lemon grass as a line-item procurement. State and local buyers posting opportunities under this code are primarily school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional departments procuring food for institutional cafeterias, child nutrition programs, and state-supported residential facilities. The work involves supplying fresh, frozen, dried, or processed food products — including herbs, spices, and specialty ingredients — as part of broader grocery supply contracts that encompass hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and consumables. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, state criminal justice departments, county and municipal school districts, and state correctional facilities, with repeat activity from Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia.

Recent procurement activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs in 2026 for supplemental food and consumables supplying state hospitals and state-supported living centers, with line-item counts reaching 210 items and contract values up to $4.5 million over three years (IFB HHS0016792 and HHS0017449, response deadlines February–July 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's office solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic regions under IFB 304T26300CF (382 line items, deadline May 4, 2026). School districts issued aggressive K–12 grocery contracts: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) sought Master Grocery suppliers serving 52 school locations and distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, April 27, 2026 deadline); Douglas County School System (Georgia) through the GEC Buying Cooperative posted an RFP for fresh produce and eggs estimated at $5.5 million annually across 30 districts (RFP SN26-004, March 4, 2026 deadline) and a separate main-line food distribution RFP for approximately $9 million annually (RFP SN26-003, February 18, 2026 deadline). Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited over 900 grocery line items for child nutrition (April 29, 2026 deadline). The code shows no documented organic lemon grass–specific line items in these recent opportunities; organic specialty herbs typically appear as individual line items within much larger multi-category grocery RFPs, making pursuit under this narrow Commodity code impractical without visibility into the detailed line-item attachments.
