UNSPSC 50474112: Canned or jarred organic lemon grass

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

UNSPSC 50474112 Canned or jarred organic lemon grass, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement, with the code appearing in only one solicitation record among recent opportunities. State and local governments procure food products through this code primarily as components of broader institutional food supply contracts rather than as standalone specialty ingredients. The sole identified opportunity—the Illinois FY-27 IVHQ Quarterly Weekly Food Order—frames the procurement within a larger food service fulfillment context where brand-specific items or approved equivalents are acceptable, though the solicitation does not detail line-item specificity or ingredient-level breakouts. The broader pattern of recent state and local food procurement activity shows demand concentrated in institutional food service for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and state hospitals, where food contracts typically aggregate hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and specialty items rather than isolating individual branded ingredients.

The code shows activity in Illinois only, based on the single recent solicitation. Competing for food-ingredient procurement at the state and local level requires vendors to position themselves within master grocery, supplemental food, or institutional food service contracts issued by school districts, state health and human services commissions, departments of corrections, and other state agencies. Recent activity in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia demonstrates that schools and state facilities solicit food supply through cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct RFPs spanning thousands of line items, with awards often made to primary and secondary vendors on a line-item basis. The narrow focus on canned or jarred organic lemon grass as a standalone Commodity code suggests this ingredient is either bundled into broader product categories or sourced as a secondary line item within larger food service contracts. Vendors interested in this code should monitor master grocery solicitations from school districts and state institutional food service contracts, where specialty or organic ingredients occasionally appear as optional or preferred items, rather than expect standalone RFPs for this specific product.
