UNSPSC 50444106: Frozen cilantro

The variety of herbs known as cilantro that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50444106 Frozen cilantro, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within the broader food-service procurement activity that state and local governments undertake for institutional feeding operations, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct solicitation for this specific item. State and local purchasing offices instead typically source frozen cilantro as part of larger food-supply bundles rather than as a line-item procurement. The issuing bodies soliciting food products under broader codes include state health and human services agencies, state purchasing divisions, county school systems, and school-district cooperatives. These entities buy food products to support cafeterias, on-site meal programs, and food-service operations at state-run facilities, schools, and institutional settings.

Recent activity centers in Georgia and Texas. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued two major RFPs in early 2026—one for fresh produce and eggs (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated annual value $5.5 million across two geographic areas) and a companion procurement for food supply and distribution services (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026, estimated annual value $9 million)—both run through the GEC Buying Cooperative to serve 30 school districts. The State of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, prior-period value $1.5 million). The code shows limited standalone demand; frozen cilantro procurement activity is largely embedded within larger institutional food-service contracts rather than appearing as a discrete commodity request.
