UNSPSC 50423804: Dried germidor garlic

The variety of garlic known as germidor garlic that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423804 Dried germidor garlic is a Commodity code that in practice covers dried beans and legumes procured for institutional food service — including kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans — rather than the narrower garlic category the code name suggests. State and local governments solicit dried beans primarily through correctional agencies, child nutrition programs, and state purchasing divisions for bulk institutional cooking. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices procuring on behalf of institutional kitchens, municipal child nutrition programs, and state education or food-service agencies. Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas show recent activity. Specifications consistently emphasize USDA grading standards (typically U.S. No. 2 or Grade A/B equivalent), triple-cleaning to remove contaminants and foreign material, moisture-content limits, minimum shelf life, FDA and HACCP compliance, and FOB destination delivery to institutional distribution centers.

The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) issued an RFQ for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans on June 5, 2026, with bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time; the procurement applied a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors, with the historical purchase price at $0.493 per pound as of August 2025 from incumbent Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) for kidney beans on October 2, 2026, with bids due October 9, 2026, requiring delivery in 880-bag increments and electronic submission in PDF format without compliance shortcuts. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans (triple-cleaned) in August 2026 with bids due August 21, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procured through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning multiple line items including beans and legumes across five geographic distribution areas, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Delivery terms universally require FOB destination to institutional sites with all freight and handling embedded in bid pricing; no separate line-item reimbursement for freight or tariffs is permitted.
