UNSPSC 50464111: Canned or jarred fenugreek

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

UNSPSC 50464111 Canned or jarred fenugreek is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy shelf-stable packaged food items under this code—typically canned proteins, vegetables, condiments, and specialty food products sourced for institutional food service, senior services, and state-supported facilities. Recent solicitations show purchasing concentrated at state health and human services commissions, county departments of community services, and corrections agencies acquiring bulk food supplies for dining operations, canteen programs, and food distribution to residents and inmates. The work involves responding to detailed line-item specifications with firm, fixed unit pricing; meeting strict delivery windows and compliance timelines; and often competing on best-value criteria that weigh specification adherence and past performance alongside price.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs in mid-2026 for food and consumable products serving state-supported living centers at Mexia and El Paso, with response deadlines in August and July respectively; the Mexia canteen and food-service procurements (HHS0017798 and HHS0017799, due August 25, 2026) covered three categories of packaged and frozen food items with historical annual values around $160,500 to $158,000, while the El Paso procurement (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) carried a prior-period value of $1.5 million and a maximum three-year potential of up to one additional year at HHSC discretion. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five Texas warehouse locations (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.), and the State of Illinois issued a quarterly food order solicitation for July–September (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026). Bidders must typically quote at least 90 percent of line items, meet firm delivery schedules, and comply with HUB or small-business subcontracting plan requirements in Texas.
