UNSPSC 50474114: Canned or jarred organic mint

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

UNSPSC 50474114 Canned or jarred organic mint is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities filed under it show no purchase activity actually seeking this specific product. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code are for broad-spectrum food service procurement—shelf-stable groceries, canteen supplies, frozen products, and food-service consumables—covering items such as canned proteins, vegetables, dairy, condiments, and disposable serviceware. The issuing bodies are state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and institutional food-service operations. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the actual work being bought: no recent solicitation names organic mint as a line item or requirement, and the procurements reflect institutional meal supply rather than specialty organic condiments. If your firm sells canned or jarred organic mint, this code signals little relevant recent activity; the underlying opportunities are for high-volume, commodity-grade food distribution to state institutions and social services.

The geographic spread covers Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (Gwinnett County and State of Georgia), and Illinois (State of Illinois). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017798 for canteen groceries at Mexia State Supported Living Center (due August 25, 2026), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas (response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). These solicitations consistently emphasize firm, fixed unit pricing; strict compliance with item-level specifications including packaging and portion size; FOB Destination delivery; and brand-specific or approved-equivalent sourcing. None of the opportunities display this code's stated commodity—canned or jarred organic mint—suggesting either a cataloging error or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for actual food service buying.
