UNSPSC 50424124: Dried tarragon

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

UNSPSC 50424124 Dried tarragon is a Commodity code that maps nominally to a specialty culinary ingredient, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity directly purchasing dried tarragon or herb-specific products. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly solicit broad grocery and food-service supply contracts that encompass hundreds of line items across multiple food categories—proteins, produce, dairy, frozen items, condiments, baked goods, and consumable supplies—with tarragon and other dried herbs appearing, if at all, as minor components within much larger food-procurement scope. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Douglas County schools in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Human Services), state departments (Illinois, Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), and special-purpose facilities (state supported living centers, state hospitals). No single issuing body dominates the recent activity; instead, competitive food-service procurement is distributed across multiple jurisdictions.

Geographic spread concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with isolated activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center and Department of State Health Services, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and a contract term running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, plus one renewal option; the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T26300CF (posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply TDCJ distribution points across five geographic areas with an extended deadline via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for a Master Grocery K-12 contract covering delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens and the FCPS Food Service Center Warehouse, with performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and four optional one-year renewals; and Rockwood R-VI School District's bid for over 900 grocery line items (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) supporting approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily. The code's recent activity reflects demand for full-service food provisioning rather than specialty ingredient purchasing; firms competing here compete on scale, logistics, compliance with detailed nutritional and USDA standards, and ability to serve multiple school and institutional locations simultaneously.
