UNSPSC 50454115: Frozen organic oregano

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

UNSPSC 50454115 Frozen organic oregano is a Commodity code that rarely maps to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities bearing this code designation encompass broad food and consumable supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and child nutrition programs—work that includes hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, produce, grains, and prepared entrees, but only incidentally frozen herbs. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact; state and local procurement offices tag comprehensive grocery solicitations with narrow commodity codes, creating a signal-to-noise problem for targeted suppliers. If your firm supplies frozen oregano specifically, this code will not reliably surface relevant opportunities. Buyers soliciting under this code are typically seeking food service distributors or master grocery suppliers rather than specialty ingredient vendors.

State and local food procurement across these opportunities concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, driven by large institutional customers—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state hospitals and supported living centers), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and the State of Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include TDCJ's IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products (May 4, 2026, IFB) spanning 382 line items across five warehouse regions; HHSC's HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables (July 13, 2026, IFB, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million); Douglas County Schools' RFP SN26-003 for food supply and distribution (February 18, 2026, RFP, estimated annual spend $9 million); and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (April 27, 2026, IFB, July 1, 2026 start). These contracts typically require firm fixed pricing, delivery within 7–30 days, USDA compliance, and insurance minimums of $1–2 million. None of the recent postings identify set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, and award is based on best value or lowest responsive bid meeting specifications. Current activity does not support meaningful pursuit of frozen oregano as a standalone commodity under this code.
