UNSPSC 50594113: Dried Non GMO marjoram

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO marjoram 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 50594113 Dried Non GMO marjoram, a Commodity code, covers the supply of shelf-stable dried herbs and spices to state and local institutional food service operations. Recent opportunities under this code show state and local governments procuring dried marjoram as a line item within larger food and consumables contracts for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and institutional cafeterias. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Georgia), state corrections departments (Texas TDCJ), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and specialized state procurement divisions (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Illinois).

Recent procurement activity centers in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017798 for canteen and food service groceries at Mexia State Supported Living Center (due August 25, 2026), covering multiple commodity codes including condiments and staple items; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to supply TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic regions (extended due date May 4, 2026), encompassing approximately 382 line items of proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and fresh produce; and Gwinnett County's informal written quote solicitation IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services (due October 19, 2026). These opportunities typically require firm, fixed unit pricing with delivery to state or county distribution points or end-use facilities, compliance with USDA grade standards and product specifications, and response within 90 to 120 days of posting. Historical annual volumes at individual facilities range from $158,000 to $1.5 million, with statewide multi-facility contracts potentially exceeding $4.5 million over multiple years.
