UNSPSC 50494005: Organic chervil purees

The variety of organic herbs known as organic chervil which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50494005 Organic chervil purees (Commodity) identifies a narrow product category, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect solicitation of organic chervil purees or related fresh herb products. Instead, the recent opportunities posted under this code span institutional food service procurement—fresh and frozen proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, condiments, canned goods, and food-service consumables—sourced by state human services agencies, school nutrition programs, county departments, and correctional facilities. The work reflects high-volume commodity purchasing for canteens, cafeterias, inmate feeding, and senior services, with contracts typically structured as fixed-price IFBs and informal written quotes (IWQs) priced per unit or per case. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Georgia Department of Community Services), state departments of corrections (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ), county boards (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), and municipal nutrition programs. The geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with isolated Illinois activity. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement scope signals either misclassification at the point of posting or inconsistent commodity-code application across state and local procurement systems.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables (prepared foods, food-service supplies, containers, napkins) at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026, requiring F.O.B. Destination pricing and three verifiable references; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups) due October 19, 2026 with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with bids due June 19, 2026 and a prior purchase at $13.75 per case; and Burke County Public Schools' sealed bid for a comprehensive grocery procurement spanning nearly 400 line items across five schools for the 2026–2027 school year with bids due June 5, 2026. None of these solicitations specifically reference organic chervil purees or fresh herb products.
