UNSPSC 50454111: Frozen organic fenugreek

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

UNSPSC 50454111 Frozen organic fenugreek, a Commodity code, sees sparse recent state and local procurement activity centered on institutional food service for state facilities and school districts. The code's nominal product — frozen organic fenugreek — does not align with the actual scope of work captured in recent solicitations under this code. State and local buyers tagging opportunities with this code are soliciting broad-based food supply contracts encompassing dozens to hundreds of food line items (proteins, dairy, produce, grains, frozen specialty items, consumables, and supplies), not fenugreek specifically. The mismatch between the code name and the actual purchasing activity suggests either a taxonomy-mapping error in the source systems or that this code is being used as a catch-all for miscellaneous food procurement. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state departments of criminal justice (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), and state education or general procurement divisions (State of Illinois, State of Georgia). State agencies and school districts dominate the buyer base, with school districts appearing to use cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative) to aggregate demand across multiple districts.

Geographic spread centers on Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (Douglas County and statewide cooperative procurement), and Virginia (Fairfax County), with additional activity in Illinois and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering weekly delivery to 45 schools, seven distribution kitchens, and a central warehouse (sealed bids due April 27, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas, approximately 382 line items, response extended to May 4, 2026; and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services RFP for grocery items covering over 900 line items with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026. School district procurements typically target annual spends ranging from $1.5 million to $9 million, with firm fixed pricing over one-year terms and optional renewals. State agencies often structure longer-term contracts with renewal options extending two to three years and maximum potential values reaching $4.5 million across the full option period.
