UNSPSC 50454112: Frozen organic lemon grass

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

UNSPSC 50454112 Frozen organic lemon grass is a Commodity code that nominally covers frozen organic lemon grass products, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no relevant opportunities aligned with that specification. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code are broad food service and grocery solicitations from Georgia counties, Texas state agencies, and Illinois state procurement—all covering shelf-stable packaged goods, proteins, dairy, frozen entrees, and kitchen supplies for institutional food service, none of which specifically call for frozen lemon grass or other specialty herbs. The issuing bodies span the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (purchasing for state supported living centers statewide), the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, the State of Georgia, and the State of Illinois. These are large institutional food service buyers with recurring annual procurement cycles.

The geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with recent opportunities from the Texas HHSC (multiple IFBs for Mexia and El Paso state supported living centers, plus a supplemental food contract serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide), the Texas Comptroller (TDCJ cafeteria procurement across five geographic areas), Gwinnett County (senior services food items), the State of Georgia, and the State of Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017798 (Mexia State Supported Living Center canteen groceries, bids due August 25, 2026), the Texas Comptroller IFB 304T-26-300CF (TDCJ cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations, response due May 4, 2026), and Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, quotes due October 19, 2026). The code appears misaligned with its nominal commodity definition; frozen organic lemon grass does not appear in any of the posted scope descriptions, suggesting the code may be incorrectly tagged in state and local sourcing databases or the solicitations do not reflect the full line-item breadth available for purchase.
