UNSPSC 50414013: Organic marjoram

The variety of organic herbs known as organic marjoram

UNSPSC 50414013 Organic marjoram, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this classification in recent state and local procurement. The ten opportunities posted between January and June 2026 and tagged with this code cover broad food service supply contracts — cafeteria and institutional meal programs, school district grocery procurement, fresh produce and eggs for multiple school districts, and consumable supplies for state facilities — none of which center on marjoram or other specialty herbs. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch, as state and local procurement offices are using it to classify general food supply and grocery line items rather than organic marjoram specifically. Issuers include state departments of criminal justice and health and human services, school districts from elementary through secondary levels, and special purchasing cooperatives. The mix reflects institutional food service buyers across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Georgia school districts (Douglas County and Rockwood R-VI) posting five of the ten visible opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center with estimated historical spending of $1.5 million annually; the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T26300CF (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) for cafeteria food products across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations with firm pricing and two optional one-year renewals; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries. Typical contract terms run one year with renewal options through three years, pricing is firm and fixed for the initial period with adjustments limited to manufacturer-documented increases or tied to consumer price indices, and evaluation favors best value over lowest price. These solicitations do not directly reflect demand for organic marjoram as a line item.
