UNSPSC 50454123: Frozen organic savory

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

UNSPSC 50454123 Frozen organic savory, a Commodity code, covers frozen ready-to-eat and specialty food items that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — primarily frozen entrees, prepared meats, specialty vegetables, and similar shelf-stable products consumed in correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, school districts, and related public-serving institutions. Recent solicitations show procurement officers buying frozen burritos, corn dogs, pre-cooked chicken products, frozen specialty entrees, and comparable items as line-item components within larger food-service agreements rather than as standalone categories. State health and human services agencies, correctional departments, and school districts dominate the issuing-body mix; Texas agencies (the Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple school districts) appear across multiple recent solicitations, alongside state procurement offices in Illinois and Georgia and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), covering 210 line items including frozen specialty foods as part of a broader food-supply procurement with an estimated annual value of $1.5 million for the prior contract period; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, encompassing approximately 382 line items including frozen burritos and corn dogs with a response due date of May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum); and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (sealed bids due April 27, 2026), soliciting direct school delivery of grocery products including frozen items across 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens for the 2026-27 contract year. Texas procurements typically require firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA grade standards, seven-day delivery windows, and best-value evaluation incorporating vendor performance history and specification compliance. Most recent opportunities show incumbent contract values in the $1.5 million to $4.5 million range annually, with multi-year terms (typically two to three renewal options) and no explicit set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises.
