UNSPSC 50474100: Canned or jarred organic herbs

The type of organic vegetable known as organic herbs that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50474100 Canned or jarred organic herbs is a Class code, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this designation does not reflect a meaningful procurement market for canned or jarred organic herbs specifically. The opportunities posted show that issuing bodies—principally state health and human services agencies, county governments, and state purchasing divisions—are soliciting broad food service and grocery supply contracts encompassing shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, frozen items, dairy products, condiments, and consumables for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and institutional food operations. The solicitations do not isolate organic herbs as a line item or category; instead, canned and jarred products appear as incidental components within larger food supply awards covering dozens or hundreds of line items with firm, fixed unit pricing and specification-compliance requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice) posted multiple IFBs in May through August 2026, including supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, with a potential three-year value of $4.5 million), cafeteria food products for TDCJ warehouses (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026), canteen and food service groceries for Mexia State Supported Living Center (HHS0017798 and HHS0017799, due August 25, 2026), and food service groceries for El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) solicited approximately 1,062 cases of food items for senior services (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026). The State of Georgia and State of Illinois also posted food supply procurements in May and June 2026. Suppliers responding to these opportunities must meet USDA grade standards, submit firm fixed pricing per unit, comply with delivery windows and timelines (often 7 to 30 days), and accept evaluation on specification compliance, past performance, and price rather than price alone.
