UNSPSC 50474101: Canned or jarred organic basil

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

UNSPSC 50474101 Canned or jarred organic basil, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local procurement activity documented in recent opportunities. The sourcing identified under this code spans general grocery and food service supply contracts—bulk food products including produce, proteins, dairy, grains, frozen items, and consumable supplies—rather than specialty canned or jarred organic herbs. State and local issuing bodies posting under the code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state procurement offices in Illinois and Georgia. These entities solicit food service supplies to support child nutrition programs, institutional food service, and correctional facility feeding operations at substantial volumes.

Recent opportunities show consistent geographic concentration in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with estimated contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026) spanning 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas. In Georgia, the Douglas County School System issued an RFP for fresh produce and eggs (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two regions serving 30 school districts, and a parallel RFP for food supply and distribution services (SN 26-003, due February 18, 2026) valued at approximately $9 million annually. Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools plus distribution centers. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issued a grocery items bid for child nutrition services (due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items with firm pricing for the 2026–27 school year. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (specialty canned organic basil) and actual procurement (broad-based institutional food service) signals that this code sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local markets.
