UNSPSC 51461511: Coriander

This classification denotes a natural product which US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 1OV56052IK (though, if in oil form, 7626GC95E5), which the Integrated Taxonomic Information System classifies under Taxonomic Serial Number 29621 as a member of Kingdom Plantae, Subkingdom Viridaeplantae, Infrakingdom Streptophyta, Division Tracheophyta, Subdivision Spermatophytina, Infradivision Angiospermae, Class Magnoliopsida, Superorder Asteranae, Order Apiales, Family Apiaceae, Genus Coriandrum L. (coriander), and Species Coriandrum sativum, commonly known as CHINESE PARSLEY or as here, CORIANDER.

UNSPSC 51461511 Coriander is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity in the tracking block is a Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products — a category unrelated to coriander spice or culinary ingredients. This mismatch suggests the code may be mistagged in the state and local procurement system or that coriander procurement does not generate solicitation volume sufficient to appear in recent records. State and local governments that do purchase coriander typically acquire it through food-service or institutional-supply contracts under different UNSPSC codes tied to spice products, bulk food ingredients, or food-service distribution rather than under this code.

The MMCAP RFP, issued January 20, 2026, with proposals due March 26, 2026, represents activity by a multistate cooperative administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement and serving participating state and local facilities across multiple states including Oregon. This opportunity is a pharmaceutical-supply solicitation, not a food-ingredient procurement, and therefore provides no actionable signal for vendors pursuing coriander contracts. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for practical state and local procurement purposes and redirect sourcing research to food-service, spice, and culinary-ingredient UNSPSC codes where institutional buyers (school districts, universities, state agencies, counties) actively solicit coriander supply.
