UNSPSC 50434120: Dried organic rosemary

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

UNSPSC 50434120 Dried organic rosemary, a Commodity code, does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification in current solicitations. The recent opportunities posted under this code in the state and local registry span dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans—institutional food supply for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agencies, along with broader cafeteria food products and weekly food orders for state institutions. None of the opportunities solicited align with the code's nominal scope of dried rosemary; instead, they document procurement of bulk dried legumes and institutional food staples for meal service, warehouse supply, and food-service operations within correctional systems, child and adult care facilities, and state warehouse networks.

State agencies and correctional authorities dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and State of Illinois appearing as repeat buyers seeking quarterly or annual food supply contracts for institutional meal preparation. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and Georgia Correctional Industries also appear among recent solicitors. Geographic concentration is evident in the South and West, particularly Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' request for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered bidders and a historical price of $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries' IFB for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026; the City of Edinburg's RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies (beverages, paper goods, proteins, breads, fruits, vegetables, janitorial and nonfood items) due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas due May 4, 2026, following a pre-bid conference on March 26, 2026, with contract term extending through August 31, 2027 and two optional one-year renewals. This code shows material activity but mismatch with its stated category name, suggesting institutional food procurement rather than organic herb sourcing.
