UNSPSC 50464108: Canned or jarred curry leaves

The variety of herbs known as curry leaves that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464108 Canned or jarred curry leaves is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this designation do not reflect specialized curry leaf procurement—instead, they document broad food service and grocery supply contracts for institutional kitchens, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and county social services. The scope of work actually being solicited spans shelf-stable proteins, frozen entrees, dairy products, fresh and frozen vegetables, grains, condiments, beverages, bakery items, and disposable serviceware, with canned and jarred goods representing one line item category among dozens. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Georgia), state comptroller procurement divisions acting for corrections or institutional agencies (Texas TDCJ), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and state procurement offices (Illinois). These solicitations are driven by institutional food service operations—state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services centers, and canteen operations—rather than specialty food retail or catering. Awards are typically made on best-value or lowest-responsive-bidder criteria, with firm fixed pricing, delivery compliance, and specification adherence weighted heavily in evaluation.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (multiple HHSC solicitations for Mexia and El Paso state supported living centers, TDCJ cafeteria products across five geographic areas), Georgia (Gwinnett County, state food supplies procurement), and Illinois (quarterly food orders). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC canteen and food service groceries for Mexia State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017798 and HHS0017799, due August 25, 2026, spanning 90-plus line items with firm fixed pricing and 72-hour response requirements for complaint resolution), the Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026, covering 382 line items across five warehouse locations), and Gwinnett County's purchase of approximately 1,062 cases of food items for the Department of Community Services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026, requiring three references and delivery within 72 hours). Historical contract values reported include Texas HHSC FY25 food service at $158,000, canteen groceries at $160,500, El Paso State Supported Living Center at $1.5 million annually, and supplemental food and consumables statewide at up to $4.5 million over three years—indicating substantial institutional volume but highly variable by jurisdiction and facility size.
