UNSPSC 50424115: Dried oregano

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

UNSPSC 50424115 Dried oregano is a Commodity code that sees limited direct solicitation activity in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities tagged to this code actually cover broad shelf-stable and fresh food procurement for state agencies, county governments, and institutional food services rather than dried herbs specifically. State and local governments use this code umbrella to buy cafeteria and institutional food service items—proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables, condiments, and consumables—for correctional facilities, state supported living centers, senior services programs, and facility dining operations. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia, typically through their purchasing or procurement divisions. These agencies solicit food service groceries and consumables on standing contracts serving multiple locations and facilities, with awards frequently made to single vendors per line item or across broad commodity categories rather than individual product SKUs.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers and hospitals statewide—including HHS0017799 (Mexia food service groceries, bids due August 25, 2026), HHS0017798 (Mexia canteen groceries, bids due August 25, 2026 as amended August 18, 2026), HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables, bids due July 13, 2026), and HHS0016792v2 (supplemental food and consumables statewide, bids due March 19, 2026, with a three-year contract value ceiling of $4.5 million). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products serving Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouses across five geographic areas, with bids due May 4, 2026 and initial contract term through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services with quotes due October 19, 2026. The State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products (solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009, bids due June 22, 2026), and the State of Illinois issued FY-27 quarterly weekly food orders (solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, bids due June 26, 2026). The code shows no recent activity in other states; decision-relevant opportunities remain concentrated in Texas institutional food service procurement and occasional county or state-level facility supply buys.
