UNSPSC 50414018: Organic perilla

The variety of organic herbs known as organic perilla

UNSPSC 50414018 Organic perilla, a Commodity code, does not map meaningfully to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The eight opportunities in the source all solicit general grocery and food products for school districts, state agencies, and institutional food service — fresh produce, proteins, dairy, frozen entrees, pantry staples, and consumable supplies — with no mention of perilla, an Asian culinary herb, in any specification or line-item listing. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error at the time of posting or that perilla appears as an incidental item within a much broader food procurement that was tagged at the commodity level rather than a family or segment code encompassing all food products being acquired.

The issuing bodies across the source are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System) and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia). The geographic footprint is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services to 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000, due February 18, 2026. No recent opportunities under this code specifically solicit organic perilla or ingredients matched to that commodity description.
