UNSPSC 50454121: Frozen organic sage

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

UNSPSC 50454121 Frozen organic sage (Commodity) does not see material activity in recent state and local solicitations. The code is narrowly defined to a single product category — frozen sage herbs — yet the recent opportunities tagged with it span broad food service procurement for state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, and county community services, encompassing hundreds of line items across proteins, dairy, produce, prepared entrees, and consumables with no apparent emphasis on frozen sage or organic herb products.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominate recent posting volume, with supplemental food and consumable contracts (HHS0016792v2, HHS0017449, HHS0017798, HHS0017799, and 304T26300CF) spanning fresh and frozen provisions, specialty entrees, and disposables across multiple state-supported living centers and correctional warehouses statewide. Gwinnett County, Georgia, and the State of Illinois round out the issuing bodies with smaller-scale food service RFQs and IFBs for community services, senior centers, and state facilities. The geographic concentration reflects Texas procurement activity, with secondary activity in Georgia and Illinois. The code shows limited relevance to actual vendor procurement strategy — firms pursuing state and local food service contracts should track the broader commodity codes covering frozen proteins, produce, and prepared foods rather than relying on this narrow sage-specific classification to identify opportunities. The mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation scope suggests the code is either applied inconsistently or represents a minimal fraction of any food-service supplier's volume.
