UNSPSC 50414025: Organic thyme

The variety of organic herbs known as organic thyme

UNSPSC 50414025 Organic thyme is a Commodity code representing fresh herb procurement for state and local food service operations. State and local governments buy organic thyme and similar fresh herbs as ingredient supplies for institutional food service—school cafeterias, correctional facilities, health and human services institutions, and hospital kitchens—typically sourced through broader food and consumables contracts rather than as standalone line items. Recent opportunities show organic thyme embedded within larger weekly or quarterly grocery solicitations covering produce, proteins, dairy, and kitchen supplies for institutional feeding programs.

The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, state departments managing correctional and institutional facilities, and school districts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Douglas County School System all posted food procurement solicitations in the past four months. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with Texas showing the heaviest recent volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2) for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with 210 line items and a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; the TDCJ's cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF) covering approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas in Texas, with response due May 4, 2026; and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items solicitation for the 2026–2027 school year (April 29, 2026 deadline) spanning over 900 line items with firm pricing required for the entire contract period.
