UNSPSC 50433804: Dried organic germidor garlic

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

UNSPSC 50433804 Dried organic germidor garlic is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable dried garlic products used in institutional food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations show negligible direct activity specifically naming this item. The code appears misaligned with the broader procurement activity in the source records: recent opportunities from state departments, school districts, and institutional food service agencies solicit comprehensive grocery and produce packages—fresh and canned vegetables, proteins, grains, dairy, and prepared entrees—rather than narrowly specified dried garlic. The issuing bodies include large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, Muscogee County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), and municipal/district food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP). These jurisdictions typically buy food supplies through broad-scope RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs that bundle multiple product categories rather than issue standalone solicitations for single items like dried garlic.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, with multiple school district solicitations) and across Texas, with additional procurement from Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, reflecting national coverage among larger institutional buyers. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), which required suppliers to deliver grocery products to 45 schools weekly; Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items 2026-2027 (due April 29, 2026), which solicited over 900 line items across snacks, produce, grains, dairy, and prepared entrees; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026), covering 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and canned goods for six statewide distribution points. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds, March 20, 2026, and 42,500 pounds, June 19, 2026), representing the closest procurement match to the dried-goods category. The code shows weak alignment with current market demand; vendors pursuing state and local institutional food service should target broader grocery supply contracts rather than narrow ingredient commodities.
