UNSPSC 50403808: Rose de lautrec garlic

The variety of garlic known as rose de lautrec garlic

UNSPSC 50403808 Rose de lautrec garlic is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities block shows little activity actually purchasing this specific garlic variety. Instead, state and local governments are actively procuring fresh produce broadly—including garlic and onions as commodity items within larger produce contracts—primarily through school districts, county education systems, and criminal justice agencies sourcing for institutional food service. The code's abstract name does not align with how purchasing is actually occurring in the market; garlic appears only incidentally as a line item within comprehensive fresh-produce, grocery, and food-service solicitations rather than as a standalone procurement target.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing produce under related codes span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Northside Independent, Hillsborough County, Meriden Public, and multiple Georgia county boards of education), criminal justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), transit and social-service providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and municipal departments (City of San Antonio). The geographic concentration is heavy in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB IW253079 for carrots (due June 23, 2026) and the Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables with a 400-mile sourcing radius (proposals due June 22, 2026, award anticipated July 20, 2026). The Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks (due July 29, 2026) requires approximately 5,900 servings weekly sourced within 400 miles of Madison, Wisconsin, with $0.20 per pound organic preference and 5% diverse-owned business preference scoring. Most school-nutrition solicitations emphasize local sourcing, USDA compliance, HACCP certification, refrigerated delivery, and multi-year contract terms with renewal options, while criminal-justice procurement typically specifies bulk quantities with firm pricing and F.O.B. destination terms. Activity is steady across the first half of 2026, with most school-year contracts commencing July 1, 2026.
