UNSPSC 50464115: Canned or jarred oregano

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

UNSPSC 50464115 Canned or jarred oregano is a Commodity code whose scope in state and local procurement spans seasoning and flavoring ingredients used in institutional food service operations—primarily school districts, state health and human services facilities, and correctional institutions. Recent solicitations show oregano as one line item among hundreds in broad food and consumable-product procurements serving cafeterias, nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia), and state institutions. These jurisdictions source oregano and similar condiments as part of master grocery contracts or supplemental food agreements that roll dozens or hundreds of food line items into single IFBs or RFPs.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Virginia, Missouri, and Georgia. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), which encompasses NIGP Class/Item numbers covering condiments and food supplies under a contract term of September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with optional renewal through August 31, 2028; the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products to supply TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas (extended to May 4, 2026), spanning approximately 382 line items of proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, baking supplies, and condiments; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027; and Rockwood School District's solicitation for grocery items spanning over 900 line items for the 2026-27 school year (due April 29, 2026, electronically via NUTRIKIDS system). These contracts are typically firm fixed-price with pricing evaluated on a per-unit or per-serving basis, often structured to allow single or multiple awards by line item or vendor to optimize value. No set-asides specific to disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent opportunities identified.
