UNSPSC 50433800: Dried organic garlics

The type of organic vegetable known as organic garlics that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433800 Dried organic garlics is a Class code. State and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent competitive opportunity directly aligned with the nominal scope. The most recent opportunities tagged with this code actually solicit broad grocery and food service supply across multiple product categories — fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria staples, and meal-program ingredients — rather than dried organic garlic specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate bids for dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds in March 2026 and 42,500 pounds in June 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited 382 line items of cafeteria food products via IFB in May 2026, and Georgia issued an RFP for fresh produce through a buying cooperative in February 2026 serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million in one area. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, school districts (ranging from single districts like Fairfax County Public Schools and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri to cooperative purchases spanning 30 Georgia districts), cities (the City of Edinburg, Texas, for child nutrition services), and state departments. School nutrition procurement dominates the recent activity, with multiple bids due in spring and early summer 2026 for annual contracts July 2026 through June 2027.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia, Texas, and Oregon based on recent solicitations, with secondary activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Specificity around dried garlic as a line item is absent from the available opportunities; instead, dried beans, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery categories are the actual procurement focus. The code's nominal scope and the recent state and local activity diverge significantly, suggesting either misclassification of opportunities or minimal actual procurement demand for dried organic garlic under this code. Vendors evaluating pursuit should verify whether opportunities genuinely require dried garlic as a significant or standalone line item before committing resources, as the recent bid documents emphasize broader food-service supply, fresh produce delivery, and meal-program ingredients rather than specialty dried goods.
