UNSPSC 50464100 Canned or jarred herbs is a Class code. In practice, state and local governments procure this code as part of broader food service and grocery supply contracts for institutional facilities rather than as a standalone category. Recent solicitations show canned and jarred herbs embedded within larger shelf-stable food procurement packages for state supported living centers, county senior services programs, and correctional facilities. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Illinois), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state correctional departments (Texas TDCJ), and state-level procurement divisions. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as the dominant repeat issuer, with multiple fiscal-year food service contracts for state-operated facilities.
