UNSPSC 50454105: Frozen organic chervil

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

UNSPSC 50454105 Frozen organic chervil (Commodity) describes a specific perishable ingredient that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service and institutional meal programs. In practice, state and local buyers tag this code when soliciting fresh, frozen, and prepared food products for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services, and other institutional settings. The code appears in solicitations that span multiple food categories and dozens or hundreds of line items—frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, and prepared entrees—rather than as standalone specialty-herb procurements. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, and state procurement divisions on behalf of corrections and human services agencies are the primary issuing bodies. Work is solicited as Invitation for Bid (IFB) and informal written quote (IWQ) responses, typically with firm fixed pricing submitted on detailed line-item sheets and delivery required within specified timeframes to institutional warehouses or receiving points.
