UNSPSC 50413705: Organic long keeper garlic

The variety of organic garlic known as organic long keeper garlic

UNSPSC 50413705 Organic long keeper garlic (Commodity) covers fresh produce procurement by state and local public entities, though the recent opportunities block shows the code tagged to a diverse range of food-service solicitations that extend well beyond garlic alone. State and local purchasing under this nominal category actually spans fresh fruits, vegetables, and produce generally, as well as full-scope food and kitchen products when institutions acquire garlic as part of broader fresh-produce or food-service contracts. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county parks and recreation departments, regional health-care coalitions, state procurement offices, and school districts operating child nutrition programs. The mix reflects both specialized food vendors serving single-venue concessions and regional or statewide suppliers fulfilling multi-location institutional foodservice demand.

Recent activity spans three states. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for line-by-line food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations across 300+ food items and fluid-milk delivery to three schools through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. The State of Georgia posted an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park and concession facilities, with proposals due March 6, 2025, requiring a qualified food vendor to provide diverse, high-quality food and beverage options across multiple venues with a 10-point local-vendor preference for businesses meeting Collier or Lee County residency criteria; the contract runs three years with two one-year renewal options. Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) sought proposals from qualified produce vendors for the 2026-2027 contract period with a response date of August 21, 2026. The code shows activity concentrated in Georgia and Florida, with school districts and county government as the primary recent buyers.
