UNSPSC 50444125: Frozen thyme

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

UNSPSC 50444125 Frozen thyme, a Commodity code, covers fresh and frozen herbs and seasoning products procured by state and local food service operations, healthcare facilities, and institutional kitchens. State and local governments solicit frozen thyme and related herb inventory through broader food and consumable-products RFPs and IFBs serving dining facilities, cafeterias, and meal-preparation programs. The code appears primarily in institutional purchasing — state health and human services agencies, school districts using cooperative buying vehicles, and facility food-service contracts that bundle herbs with produce, proteins, and kitchen supplies under consolidated procurement.
