UNSPSC 50424123: Dried savory

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

UNSPSC 50424123 Dried savory, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable food staples and ingredients that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, including dried herbs, spices, seasonings, and related savory dry goods used in facility kitchens, cafeterias, and meal programs. Recent state and local opportunities under this code and related food commodity codes span shelf-stable proteins, grains, condiments, canned vegetables, baking supplies, and prepared or specialty entrees sourced by corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county purchasing offices, and state procurement divisions for distribution to prisons, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and county senior services facilities. The issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, the Illinois state procurement system, and the Georgia state procurement system; Texas HHSC appears as a repeat buyer across multiple state-supported facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017798 for canteen groceries serving the Mexia State Supported Living Center (bids due August 25, 2026, with a prior-period value of $160,500 for FY25), the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products supplying TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic regions (responses due May 4, 2026, with approximately 382 line items), HHSC's IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables statewide across state hospitals and state supported living centers (bid deadline March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote request IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026). All solicitations require firm, fixed unit pricing, strict adherence to manufacturer specifications with no or limited substitutions, and delivery within defined timeframes; evaluation criteria center on specification compliance, delivery performance, and best value rather than lowest price alone.
