UNSPSC 50444115: Frozen oregano

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

UNSPSC 50444115 Frozen oregano is a Commodity code covering spices and seasonings used in institutional food service operations across state and local government. Recent solicitations show that state and local agencies procure frozen oregano and similar food ingredients as line items within broader food service supply contracts for correctional facilities, health and human services institutions, school districts, and other public entities. The code appears in aggregate food procurement RFPs where frozen oregano is one of dozens or hundreds of line items bundled with fresh produce, proteins, grains, and other kitchen staples rather than as a stand-alone ingredient purchase. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state purchasing offices, school districts, and cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple school districts within a state.

Recent activity centers in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, with response due July 13, 2026, for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical annual value of $1.5 million and pricing structured as firm fixed unit rates. The State of Georgia issued RFP PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products without item-level detail in the public posting. The Douglas County School System in Georgia solicited fresh produce and eggs through cooperative purchasing (RFP SN26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million annually across two geographic areas) and broader food supply and distribution services (RFP SN26-003, due February 18, 2026, estimated $9 million annually for 32,000 daily meals). Neither recent Douglas County solicitation explicitly names frozen oregano, and the source does not confirm that frozen oregano appears as a discrete line item in any active opportunity—the code may see limited independent activity, with most procurement demand embedded in aggregate food service RFPs where ingredient-level detail is confined to attachments or vendor price schedules.
