UNSPSC 50434112: Dried organic lemon grass

The variety of organic herbs known as organic lemon grass that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434112 Dried organic lemon grass, a Commodity code, appears rarely in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes dried herbal products for culinary use, but the recent opportunities tagged under it diverge significantly from this scope. Of the thirteen recent solicitations in the source block, only one involves dried herbs at all—the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement for dried pinto and red beans (ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026)—and that commodity is explicitly beans, not lemon grass. The remaining twelve opportunities span fresh produce (apples, bananas, peppers, leafy greens, eggs), cafeteria food products (proteins, cheeses, grains, condiments, beverages), and bulk grocery items for school nutrition, child care, and corrections food service. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the opportunities actually posted under it signals either systematic miscoding in the source database or minimal current demand for dried organic lemon grass specifically in state and local procurement.

Activity clusters in school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Muscogee County School System, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Douglas County School System, Georgia), state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office; Oregon Department of Corrections), and child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal program; State of Illinois IVHQ food order). Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. Response deadlines have ranged from mid-March through late August 2026. No recent opportunity specifically solicits dried organic lemon grass, making pursuit of this code inadvisable absent direct evidence that state and local buyers are requesting the commodity under a different UNSPSC designation or outside this taxonomy altogether.
