UNSPSC 50414023: Organic savory

The variety of organic herbs known as organic savory

UNSPSC 50414023 Organic savory, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable and frozen food products that state and local governments procure for congregate feeding programs, state institutions, and county social services. Recent solicitations show procurement of canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables, peanut butter, jelly, dairy products, frozen entrees, beverages, and condiments—both brand-specific items and approved equivalents—with firm fixed unit pricing evaluated on a per-ounce or equivalent basis. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, county boards of commissioners, state criminal justice departments, and state procurement divisions. Texas HHSC and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice) are repeat solicitors; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia and the State of Illinois also appear in recent postings.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with Texas HHSC soliciting multiple procurements for state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide, and the Texas Comptroller soliciting cafeteria food products for TDCJ warehouse distribution across five geographic areas. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 Purchase of Food Items (informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products due October 19, 2026), Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017798 for canteen groceries and frozen food at the Mexia State Supported Living Center (bids due August 25, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across TDCJ locations (bids due May 4, 2026 following an extension via addendum). Historical monetary values referenced in Texas IFB solicitations range from $158,000 to $4.5 million over multiple contract periods. Delivery windows are typically 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on specified dates with FOB Destination and inside delivery requirements; vendors must respond to 90 percent or more of line items to avoid disqualification, and contracts generally run September 1 through August 31 with optional renewal periods.
