UNSPSC 50464112: Canned or jarred lemon grass

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

UNSPSC 50464112 Canned or jarred lemon grass, a Commodity code, receives minimal relevant procurement activity from state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged to this code demonstrate a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables—none of which are lemon grass products. Similarly, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the State of Illinois issued multiple IFBs for broad food service groceries, canteen items, and consumables spanning proteins, dairy, frozen goods, condiments, and disposable serviceware. The State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurements covered cafeteria and institutional food products with detailed specifications for proteins, grains, dairy, and fresh produce. None of these solicitations itemize or reference canned or jarred lemon grass as a line item or category.

The code shows no active state and local procurement activity aligned with its product definition. Issuing bodies across Georgia, Texas, and Illinois are acquiring institutional and facility food supplies through IFBs and IWQs, but purchasing patterns center on high-volume shelf-stable staples, proteins, dairy, frozen items, and produce rather than specialty condiments or herbs. The geographic spread spans Texas (multiple HHSC facilities, TDCJ, Comptroller of Public Accounts), Georgia (Gwinnett County, State of Georgia), and Illinois (state-level facility procurement), with response dates ranging from May through October 2026. Business development professionals should treat this code as dormant for state and local procurement purposes and verify actual commodity needs with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged to this UNSPSC classification.
