UNSPSC 50414020: Organic rosemary

The variety of organic herbs known as organic rosemary

UNSPSC 50414020 Organic rosemary, a Commodity code, covers state and local procurement of fresh herbs and specialty produce items for food service, institutional dining, and public agency kitchens. In practice, state and local governments are buying broad-based food service groceries—shelf-stable items, proteins, frozen products, dairy, and fresh produce—under this code designation, though recent solicitations show the code is being applied to mixed food baskets rather than organic rosemary specifically. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions (particularly Texas HHSC), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), state agencies (Illinois, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), and state-operated facilities including supported living centers and correctional institutions. State supported living centers and state hospitals drive much of the recent volume, with Texas HHSC appearing repeatedly as a buyer across multiple facilities and commodity groups.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for canteen, food service, and supplemental groceries serving Mexia and El Paso State Supported Living Centers, with response deadlines in August and July 2026 and historical contract values ranging from $158,000 to $1.5 million annually. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an RFQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, with delivery required by December 7, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's statewide procurement office, solicited cafeteria food products covering 382 line items across five geographic regions under IFB 304T26300CF, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Across these opportunities, vendors must meet firm fixed pricing requirements, detailed specification compliance including USDA grades, delivery-window constraints, and often 90-day response or complaint resolution windows; many solicitations permit brand equivalents or require bidding at least 90 percent of listed items to avoid disqualification.
