UNSPSC 50434125: Dried organic thyme

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

UNSPSC 50434125 Dried organic thyme, a Commodity code, does not show meaningful recent procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The source contains twelve recent state and local contract opportunities, but only two directly reference dried legumes (specifically dried pinto and red beans), and none solicits dried organic thyme or other dried herbs and spices. The remaining opportunities span broad food-service categories including fresh produce, cafeteria food products, grocery items for school nutrition programs, and main-line food distribution—none of which isolates dried herbs as a distinct line item or procurement focus. The mismatch between the code's specificity (dried organic thyme) and the general food procurement activity in the source suggests either that dried organic thyme purchases are embedded in larger commodity contracts without line-item visibility, or that state and local procurement bodies rarely isolate this item for separate solicitation.

Two dried-bean opportunities indicate modest activity in the dried-legume family at the state correctional level: the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) issued two separate Invitations to Bid for dried pinto beans (127,500 pounds due March 20, 2026, and 42,500 pounds due June 19, 2026), with a five percent Oregon fabrication and five percent resident-bidder preference applied to evaluation, and prior-award pricing ranging from $0.43 to $0.493 per pound. These ODOC procurements demonstrate that state corrections operations source dried legumes competitively and on a recurring basis, but they do not establish a pattern of demand for dried organic thyme specifically. Without evidence of active dried-herb solicitations in the recent-opportunities block, the code cannot be characterized as an active procurement category in state and local government right now.
