UNSPSC 50423811: Dried venetian/italian garlic

The variety of garlic known as venetian/italian garlic that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423811 Dried venetian/italian garlic (Commodity) does not map to state and local procurement activity reflected in the recent solicitations block. The code targets a specific dried garlic variety, but the recent opportunities posted under it include broad school nutrition supply contracts, produce purchasing for public institutions, and bulk dried bean procurement—none of which are garlic-specific and most of which specify fresh produce rather than dried specialty items. The single exception is a small quantity reference in Oregon Department of Corrections dried pinto and red bean bids, which are unrelated to garlic sourcing. State and local procurement under this code shows no relevant recent activity.

A review of nine opportunities posted between January 21 and July 16, 2026 reveals that the code captures general food service, produce, and grocery supply solicitations from school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state procurement offices (Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), and municipal authorities (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic activity spans Texas, Missouri, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. However, none of these opportunities request dried Venetian or Italian garlic as a line item or commodity focus; instead they solicit master grocery contracts, fresh produce, cafeteria food products, eggs, or bulk dried beans. The code assignment appears to be a tagging mismatch rather than a reflection of actual garlic procurement activity. Buyers pursuing this code should verify the actual commodities in solicitation attachments and scope documents before investing pre-bid effort, as the abstract code name and current sourcing behavior do not align.
