UNSPSC 50434123: Dried organic savory

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

UNSPSC 50434123 Dried organic savory (Commodity) describes dried culinary herbs and seasonings procured by state and local governments to support institutional food service operations. Recent opportunities show the code is being solicited primarily by state corrections departments and school districts for dried bean and legume supply, not the herb-forward scope the code name suggests. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple invitations for dried pinto and red beans totaling over 170,000 pounds across two separate solicitations in the past four months, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured extensive cafeteria food products including beans and grains through the Statewide Procurement Division. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia are actively soliciting fresh produce, grocery items, and food supplies that would typically include dried goods as component items. The issuing-body mix spans state corrections agencies, state procurement offices on behalf of department-level customers, and independent school districts ranging from small regional systems to large consolidated districts serving 6,900-plus lunch participants daily. Repeat buyers include the Oregon Department of Corrections (two bean procurements in a six-week window), the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts/TDCJ, and multiple Georgia school systems sourcing through centralized or cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Geographic activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon corrections), South (Georgia school districts and Douglas County multi-district cooperative, Texas TDCJ), Midwest (Rockwood School District, Missouri), and Mid-Atlantic (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia). The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division posted ITB S2910000016233 for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026, and later ITB S2910000017140 for 42,500 pounds of mixed dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, both FOB destination to the Central Distribution Center in Salem with triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade requirements and a combined 10-percent Oregon-resident and Oregon-goods preference applied to evaluation. The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products, extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026, encompasses 382 line items including grains, proteins, and staple items across six TDCJ distribution points. School nutrition solicitations—such as Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) serving 45 schools plus distribution points, and Rockwood School District's grocery items procurement (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items for 6,900-plus daily lunch participants—indicate sustained demand for consolidated food supply contracts with firm pricing, weekly or daily delivery windows, and Buy American compliance requirements.
