UNSPSC 50423801 Dried California late garlic is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty dried garlic products, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for dried garlic. Instead, the code's recent activity centers on broader food-service procurement by state agencies, school districts, and municipalities that include garlic and other dried or preserved ingredients as line items within larger grocery, produce, or cafeteria food supply contracts. The actual buying under this code flows from child nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and school food services that source bulk dried goods and specialty food items alongside fresh produce, proteins, and prepared foods to support meal preparation and compliance with federal nutrition standards.

Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span state departments of corrections and agriculture, county school systems, municipal child care programs, and independent school districts across multiple regions. State agencies including the Oregon Department of Corrections and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat buyers, procuring dried beans, bulk groceries, and cafeteria staples on annual or multi-year cycles; school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia dominate the frequency of opportunities, with Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) each issuing multiple solicitations for food supply and produce in the past six months. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and Muscogee County School District also show activity. Geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois.
