UNSPSC 50454102: Frozen organic bay leaves

The variety of organic herbs known as organic bay leaves that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50454102 Frozen organic bay leaves is a Commodity code that does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally identifies frozen organic bay leaves as a discrete product line, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code span institutional food service procurement—including cafeteria supplies, school nutrition, state hospital food service, and correctional facility meals—where frozen bay leaves are at most a minor ingredient within broad grocery or food service categories rather than a solicited item in their own right. The issuing bodies are state agencies, school districts, and state-supported facilities across multiple states, but the code does not appear to be driving procurement strategy or stand-alone vendor engagement in the jurisdictions represented.

Recent opportunities span Texas (including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), Georgia (Douglas County School System, State of Georgia), Illinois (State of Illinois), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). The most recent solicitations include the Texas HHS El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumable products IFB (HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026) with estimated historical value of $1.5 million; the Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF, response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) covering approximately 382 line items; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, response due April 27, 2026) for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the Rockwood School District grocery items procurement (response due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items for roughly 7,000 daily meal participants. The code shows no meaningful isolation as a targeted procurement vehicle; buyers are aggregating frozen organic bay leaves—if present at all—within general food service contracts alongside proteins, produce, dairy, and supplies.
