UNSPSC 50414021: Organic sage

The variety of organic herbs known as organic sage

UNSPSC 50414021 Organic sage is a Commodity code identifying culinary herb products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service and nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show that organic sage appears as a line item within large-scale food supply contracts serving institutional facilities — primarily school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional institutions — rather than as a standalone procurement category. The code reflects demand from child nutrition services, hospital food service, and residential facility kitchens that source ingredients through master grocery contracts or supplemental food supply agreements. Issuing bodies include state health departments and commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Education), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and specialized institutional purchasers managing food service for state-supported living centers and psychiatric hospitals. The geographic footprint spans Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois, with Texas and Georgia showing the highest recent activity due to statewide institutional food supply consolidation efforts.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 52 schools and distribution centers (response due April 27, 2026), and the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery solicitation for the 2026-27 school year encompassing over 900 line items across snack, produce, dairy, and prepared entree categories (response due April 29, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (response extended to May 4, 2026) and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution serving 32 schools with an estimated annual value of $9 million demonstrate sustained institutional demand. Most contracts require firm, fixed pricing for the initial term, compliance with USDA grade and nutritional standards, delivery on FOB Destination terms, and multiple-year renewal options. Set-asides and disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions are not uniformly applied across these jurisdictions.
