UNSPSC 50594105: Dried Non GMO chervil

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO chervil that has been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50594105 Dried Non GMO chervil, a Commodity code, describes specialty dried herb products for institutional food service and school nutrition programs. State and local governments are procuring dried chervil and related dried herbs as line items within broader food supply contracts for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school districts. The recent solicitations show that dried herbs like chervil are purchased as part of comprehensive grocery and food supply bundles rather than as standalone items; they appear in specifications for condiments, seasonings, and specialty ingredients alongside proteins, produce, dairy, and prepared entrees. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Georgia), state corrections departments (Texas TDCJ), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Douglas County in Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts (GEC Buying Cooperative). The solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, firm fixed pricing, delivery schedules, and insurance requirements typical of institutional food service procurement.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), which covers food and consumables under NIGP classes 385, 390, 380, and 393 with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million; the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products supplying TDCJ warehouses across five geographic areas, with approximately 382 line items and an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supplying 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (response due April 27, 2026). The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items for the 2026–27 school year via electronic bid (response due April 29, 2026) with over 900 line items and an estimated 6,900 daily lunch participants. These contracts typically run 12 months with renewal options and require compliance with federal food safety standards, nutritional labeling, Buy American Act provisions where applicable, and substantial liability insurance. Volume is substantial — school district contracts span millions of dollars annually — but dried chervil represents a small portion of each procurement as one item among hundreds in comprehensive food supply bundles.
