UNSPSC 50464105: Canned or jarred chervil

The variety of herbs known as chervil that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464105 Canned or jarred chervil (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The opportunities tagged to this code center on broad food supply and distribution contracts for institutional food service — school cafeterias, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and correctional facilities — encompassing hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, grains, beverages, condiments, and consumable supplies, with canned or jarred chervil representing at most a minor commodity within those larger categories. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state criminal justice departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and individual state procurement offices (Illinois, Georgia). The actual purchasing activity reflects institutional food sourcing at scale rather than specialty herb procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations covering statewide distribution), Georgia (Douglas County School System RFPs serving 30 districts via cooperative purchasing), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Illinois (state-level quarterly food orders). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumable procurement (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026) spanning 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a historical value of $1.5 million annually; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products bid (IFB 304T26300CF, response due May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items for five warehouse distribution areas; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, response due April 27, 2026) requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with a 12-month contract term. The code appears to be a classification artifact where procurement offices tag institutional food supply contracts at the commodity tier rather than at the family or segment level, creating a mismatch between code nomenclature and actual solicitation scope.
