UNSPSC 50414014: Organic mint

The variety of organic herbs known as organic mint

UNSPSC 50414014 Organic mint, a Commodity code, maps poorly to the state and local procurement activity shown in recent solicitations. The code's nominal scope—fresh or processed organic mint as an ingredient or product—finds no representation in the recent opportunities posted. Instead, the most recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code involve broad food service procurement for institutional cafeterias, school nutrition programs, and state-supported facilities, spanning hundreds of line items across proteins, dairy, produce, grains, condiments, and consumable supplies with no specific call-out for mint products. The issuing bodies are diverse: state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois), state departments of criminal justice (Texas TDCJ), county school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Douglas County in Georgia), and statewide education cooperatives. This signals either a misclassification at the code level or a procurement system quirk where food service RFPs and IFBs receive a generic mint code that does not reflect actual line-item content.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with Texas HHSC driving multiple statewide supplemental food and consumable bids covering state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0016792 extended to February 23, 2026; HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026, with prior-period spend of $1.5 million as a guideline; maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years). Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 with delivery to 45 schools and distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited over 900 grocery line items (bid due April 29, 2026) and the Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution with an estimated annual spend of $9 million and an RFP 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 districts with estimated spending of $5.5 million combined (proposals due March 4, 2026). The TDCJ procurement in Texas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) covers approximately 382 cafeteria food line items across five warehouse areas. No recent opportunities specifically name organic mint as a required item, and pursuit of this code would benefit from direct engagement with issuing bodies to clarify whether mint specifications exist within their broader food service line-item lists.
