UNSPSC 50454126: Frozen organic tumeric

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

UNSPSC 50454126 Frozen organic turmeric, a Commodity code, describes specialty frozen spice and ingredient products that state and local governments procure as part of broad food service and institutional meal programs. The recent solicitation activity, however, shows no specific demand for frozen organic turmeric itself; instead, the code appears to be applied broadly to grocery and food supply contracts where turmeric or other frozen specialty ingredients may be stocked alongside mainstream produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees. State and local issuing bodies pursuing this code include large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Douglas County in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Human Services), state prison systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and special-purpose food service cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). The buyer mix spans state procurement offices, county school nutrition services, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, and regional school district consortia.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million; the Rockwood R-VI School District Missouri IFB (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) for over 900 line items of grocery items to serve 19,000 students; the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN26-003 (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) for main-line food supply and distribution services with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. None of these solicitations explicitly demand frozen organic turmeric as a line item; the code's application appears incidental to broader institutional food procurement.
