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, does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The nine most recent opportunities posted under this code span food service supply for state institutions, school districts, and state health agencies—including fresh produce, eggs, cafeteria proteins, dairy, grains, and general grocery items for prisons, state-supported living centers, hospitals, and K–12 nutrition programs. None of the solicitations explicitly reference canned or jarred lemon grass as a line item or scope component. The code appears to be a labeling error in the underlying procurement databases rather than a meaningful category for active procurement in this commodity.

State and local issuing bodies making these food-service buys include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables statewide for state hospitals and supported living centers); the Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria products for five warehouse regions); Fairfax County Public Schools (master grocery K–12 across 45 schools and distribution kitchens); Rockwood R–VI School District in Missouri (grocery items for child nutrition, over 900 line items); and the Douglas County School System in Georgia (fresh produce and eggs via cooperative purchasing, and food supply and distribution services). Recent opportunities are concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with response dates ranging from February through June 2026. Representative solicitations include Texas HHSC's supplemental food IFB (HHS0017449) due July 13, 2026, covering food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical spend of $1.5 million annually; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K–12 IFB (2000004323) due April 27, 2026, requiring delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and Rockwood School District's grocery items RFP due April 29, 2026, encompassing over 900 line items with electronic submission via NUTRIKIDS. The code shows no distinct procurement signal for lemon grass products specifically.
