UNSPSC 50414024: Organic tarragon

The variety of organic herbs known as organic tarragon

UNSPSC 50414024 Organic tarragon (Commodity) covers fresh herbs and specialty food ingredients that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, though the recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly reflect broader bulk grocery and food-service procurement rather than specialty herb sourcing. State and local bodies soliciting under this code include county social services departments, state health and human services agencies operating residential facilities and state hospitals, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, state purchasing divisions coordinating multi-facility food supply networks, and municipal or county senior services operations. The work involves recurring purchases of shelf-stable and fresh food items, frozen products, dairy, proteins, condiments, and related consumables delivered to institutional kitchens and dining facilities on fixed schedules or as-needed ordering, with strict compliance requirements around product specifications, USDA grades where applicable, delivery windows, temperature control, and complaint resolution.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food service groceries serving state supported living centers and hospitals statewide (HHS0017798, HHS0017799, HHS0017449, and HHS0016792v2), with bid deadlines ranging from mid-June through late August 2026 and historical contract values reaching $1.5 million annually or up to $4.5 million over multi-year terms. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, acting for the Department of Criminal Justice, solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations under IFB 304T26300CF (response deadline May 4, 2026). Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026). The State of Georgia posted a broader food and kitchen supplies procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026). The State of Illinois solicited quarterly weekly food orders for an institutional facility (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026). All solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing, brand-specific or approved-equivalent sourcing, and delivery compliance; many incorporate price-adjustment mechanisms tied to the Consumer Price Index and require vendors to maintain detailed product specifications and resolve quality issues within specified timeframes.
