UNSPSC 50424103: Dried borage

The variety of herbs known as borage that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424103 Dried borage is a Commodity code that does not appear in any of the recent state and local contract opportunities. The source contains six active solicitations for food and consumable products posted between May and October 2026, spanning state agencies, county governments, and state-supported facilities across Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. These opportunities uniformly procure shelf-stable, frozen, refrigerated, and fresh food items — proteins, dairy, produce, grains, beverages, and related supplies — for food service operations at correctional facilities, state supported living centers, senior services, and institutional dining programs. The code's nominal scope, dried borage (a botanical product), bears no relation to the actual work being solicited under commodity-level food procurement codes in state and local contracting right now.

State and local purchasing offices, state health and human services commissions, county boards of commissioners, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice) are the primary issuing bodies. Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, which posted five of six opportunities — including two August 2026 IFBs from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for food service groceries at the Mexia State Supported Living Center (HHS0017799, HHS0017798, due August 25, 2026) and one June 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, with historical annual value of $1.5 million at the El Paso facility). The Texas Comptroller issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse locations (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items). Gwinnett County, Georgia posted an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois posted a quarterly food order solicitation (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026). The code shows no substantive recent procurement activity aligned with its scope.
