UNSPSC 50434115: Dried organic oregano

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

UNSPSC 50434115 Dried organic oregano is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual activity in recent state and local procurement under this designation. The thirteen recent solicitations tagged to this code span food service procurement for school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs, but none specifically solicit dried organic oregano or any dried herbs—instead, they request comprehensive grocery supply, fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria entrees, and related food-service items. The code appears to be a tagging artifact rather than a meaningful category for business development purposes; procurement offices are using it to classify bulk food-service procurement that encompasses a broad mix of staple foods and supplies, not a specialty ingredient like dried oregano.

State and local food-service procurement under this code originates from school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham in Georgia and Missouri; Douglas County in Georgia), correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), cities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state-level procurement offices (State of Illinois, State of Georgia). Activity clusters heavily in Texas, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest, with additional opportunities in Virginia and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) seeking weekly food delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) encompassing 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and staples delivered to six warehouses; the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery items RFP (due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items for 6,900 daily lunch participants; and the Douglas County School System fresh produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) serving 30 school districts with approximately $5.5 million combined annual spending. Geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Oregon, and Illinois, with school-district procurement dominating the volume and state-level or regional cooperative purchasing becoming more common for produce and specialty items.
