UNSPSC 50484113: Marjoram purees

The variety of herbs known as marjoram which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484113 Marjoram purees, a Commodity code, describes specialty culinary ingredients that state and local governments source for institutional food service operations — primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services agencies preparing large-volume meals. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal dedicated procurement specifically for marjoram purees; instead, government buyers typically acquire such specialty ingredients as line items within broader food supply contracts. The code's nominal scope does not align closely with the recent opportunities posted, which emphasize fresh produce, proteins, dairy, prepared entrees, and bulk staples rather than herb purees or specialty seasonings. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by state departments of corrections and health and human services agencies, but these entities source marjoram and similar ingredients either through large master grocery agreements with food distributors or as subordinate line items within comprehensive food product bids rather than through standalone marjoram-specific procurements.

Recent activity centers on school district seasonal food procurement cycles and state facility supply renewals, with the geographic spread concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (April 2026, due April 27), Ben Hill County Schools' food product IFB (June 2026, due June 15), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumable products IFB for state hospitals and supported living centers (July 2026, due July 13). The Texas HHSC procurement, valued at up to $4.5 million over three years, covers 210 line items including condiments and staple foods, but marjoram purees do not appear as distinct line-item requirements in any of the posted abstracts. Business development professionals should note that marjoram purees and similar specialty herb ingredients are typically embedded within cost-plus or fixed-price food supply contracts awarded to broadline distributors rather than pursued as standalone commodity sales; direct procurement opportunities specific to this code tier remain rare in the state and local market.
