UNSPSC 50403804: Germidor garlic

The variety of garlic known as germidor garlic

UNSPSC 50403804 Germidor garlic is a Commodity code that spans fresh produce procurement for state and local institutional food service — chiefly school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and corrections agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing garlic as part of broader fresh-produce-supply contracts, with garlic typically bundled alongside carrots, potatoes, onions, broccoli, lettuce, and other staples. The code reflects demand for produce delivered in bulk quantities to multiple institutional sites, often with strict freshness, traceability, and food-safety compliance requirements including HACCP certification, origin documentation, and temperature-controlled logistics. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix — Bartow County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System have all posted produce bids in the recent window. State corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice) and municipal entities (City of San Antonio, Austin ISD, Northside ISD) round out the buyer base. Head Start programs and child nutrition service providers also participate.

Georgia and Texas lead recent activity by state. Bartow County Schools (Georgia) issued RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables with a June 22, 2026 deadline and a contract running July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with up to four renewal options, sourced within 400 miles of Cartersville. Bryan County Schools (Georgia) solicited sealed bids for fresh produce with a May 27, 2026 deadline for School Year 2026-2027, requesting comprehensive produce including carrots, onions, and tomatoes in specified case quantities. Douglas County School System coordinated an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across Georgia with approximately $4.4 million estimated annual spend for Area One, due March 4, 2026, and pricing anchored to USDA Atlanta Terminal Wholesale Market Report. Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple carrot and potato bids (IW253079 and IW253099, both due June 23, 2026) for institutional food service. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison with a 5% preference for Wisconsin Supplier Diversity Program vendors. The geographic spread confirms strong activity across Southeast school districts, Texas state corrections, and scattered Midwest and Southwest school jurisdictions. Garlic does not appear as a line item in the available opportunity summaries; the code assignment may reflect administrative tagging rather than active recent demand for garlic specifically.
