UNSPSC 50414018: Organic perilla

The variety of organic herbs known as organic perilla

UNSPSC 50414018 Organic perilla is a Commodity code that captures fresh and shelf-stable food products purchased by state and local governments for institutional dining, food service resupply, and consumable provisions across state health and human services facilities, county social services programs, and correctional institutions. The recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers acquiring bulk food items—including proteins, dairy, frozen entrees, fresh and canned vegetables, condiments, and bakery products—for statewide food service contracts, quarterly provisioning cycles, and facility-specific canteen and dining operations. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, county boards of commissioners, state prison systems, state-supported living centers, and state procurement divisions purchasing on behalf of multiple end-user agencies. These procurements typically employ IFB mechanics with firm fixed unit pricing, specification-driven vendor evaluation, and delivery performance requirements tied to facility operations calendars.

Geographic activity centers in Texas and Georgia, with Texas seeing the densest recent volume: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs in summer 2026 for food and consumables to El Paso and Mexia State Supported Living Centers and statewide supplemental procurement covering state hospitals and state-supported living centers through August 31, 2028; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas with a response deadline extended to May 4, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for its Department of Community Services with quotes due October 19, 2026; the State of Georgia issued a solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and the State of Illinois posted a quarterly food order solicitation due June 26, 2026. Contract values where disclosed range from $158,000 to $1.5 million annually for individual facilities and up to $4.5 million over three years for statewide programs, with awards typically made on best-value grounds combining specification compliance, delivery performance, and pricing rather than lowest-price-only selection.
