UNSPSC 50413700: Organic garlics

The type of organic vegetable known as organic garlics

UNSPSC 50413700 Organic garlics is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag produce procurement, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for organic garlic. Instead, the code appears in a dataset where state and local buyers are procuring fresh produce broadly—apples, bananas, lettuce, carrots, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, berries, onions, citrus, potatoes, and eggs—through school district nutrition programs, state purchasing offices, and county education systems. The solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, food safety certification (HACCP plans and GAP audits), Buy American sourcing requirements, and delivery to school campuses or state facilities on fixed schedules. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat buyers including Early County Schools and Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Northside Independent School District in Texas, Bulloch County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Hillsborough County Schools in Florida, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, and Salt Lake City Schools in Utah. A few state agencies (Georgia, Texas state operations) and special-purchase cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts) also appear as secondary buyers.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia (at least eight recent solicitations from school districts and state agencies), with secondary concentrations in Texas (three school districts, one state agency), Florida (Hillsborough County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Utah (Salt Lake City). Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 (ITB covering 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies for school lunch and breakfast programs), Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce due May 7, 2026 (serving 127 schools across San Antonio), Bulloch County Schools' IFP for locally grown produce (within 200 miles) due May 4, 2026, and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables through the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program due March 11, 2026 (estimated $600,000 annual budget). The code itself does not capture organic or specialty sourcing, and recent solicitations show no narrowing to organic-only suppliers; pricing typically ties to USDA terminal market reports or cost-plus-fee structures, with firm annual pricing and limited mid-contract adjustments tied to documented commodity-price escalations above 3 to 5 percent thresholds.
