UNSPSC 50414025: Organic thyme

The variety of organic herbs known as organic thyme

UNSPSC 50414025 Organic thyme, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under this code by state and local governments. Recent opportunities posted under this code are for institutional food procurement — shelf-stable groceries, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, produce, condiments, and consumables for state agencies, county governments, and special-purpose facilities. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, state correctional departments, county boards, and state facilities managing food service for supported living centers, correctional institutions, and community programs. The work involves competitive bidding on standardized, specification-driven food supply contracts with firm fixed pricing, delivery compliance requirements, and multi-year terms with renewal options. Bidders must meet exact item counts (typically 90 to 95 percent of line items), comply with USDA grades and packaging specifications, and arrange delivery to multiple distribution points or facility locations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for food and consumable products at state supported living centers in Mexia and El Paso with response deadlines in August and July 2026; the supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0016792V2) with a March 2026 deadline spans statewide distribution to state hospitals and supported living centers across a three-year period with a potential value of $4,500,000. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF) across five geographic warehouse areas with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026. Georgia issued a food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) with a June 22, 2026 deadline, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of food items (IWQ 140229) with an October 19, 2026 deadline and delivery by December 7, 2026. Illinois posted a quarterly weekly food order solicitation (FY-27 IVHQ) in June 2026. The code's title does not align with the food service commodity bundles being procured; organic thyme as a discrete item does not appear in any recent posting.
