UNSPSC 50413711: Organic venetian/italian garlic

The variety of organic garlic known as organic venetian/italian garlic

UNSPSC 50413711 Organic venetian/italian garlic, a Commodity code, does not map to meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally designates specialty garlic, but the recent solicitations tagged under it — primarily RFPs and IFBs from school districts, county boards of education, and state agencies across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida — are broadly scoped fresh produce procurements for child nutrition and school lunch programs that encompass dozens of produce line items (apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, peppers, berries, eggs, and other staples) without singling out organic garlic or any specific garlic variety as a discrete purchase line. Georgia school nutrition programs (Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Early County, and Savannah-Chatham County) and state agencies (State of Georgia fresh produce IFB and food supplies RFQs) dominate recent activity, alongside significant activity from Texas school districts (Northside ISD, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD) and Florida's Hillsborough County Public Schools.

The disconnect suggests the code has been misapplied to bulk school food service procurement notices. Representative opportunities include Bulloch County School District's April 2026 IFP for locally-grown produce (24 items, 200-mile sourcing requirement, due May 4, 2026), Early County Board of Education's May 2026 line-item food bid for 300+ items supporting the National School Lunch Program (due June 8, 2026), and Northside ISD's May 2026 RFP for fresh produce delivery to all campuses (due May 7, 2026). None of these solicitations identifies organic venetian or italian garlic as a standalone commodity or as a line-item specification. Firms pursuing specialty garlic supply to state or local jurisdictions should monitor produce-category RFPs and IFBs directly rather than rely on this code's tagging, as the code's indexing does not reliably surface relevant procurement signals.
