UNSPSC 50433805: Dried organic long keeper garlic

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

UNSPSC 50433805 Dried organic long keeper garlic, a Commodity-level code, represents dried garlic products procured primarily for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care operations. State and local buyers use this code to acquire long-storage garlic and related dried produce for bulk meal preparation, institutional kitchens, and standardized food-service operations where shelf life, grade compliance, and USDA or facility-specific standards govern purchasing decisions.

Recent activity shows school districts and state corrections departments as the primary issuing bodies. The sourcing mix is dominated by school nutrition programs soliciting comprehensive grocery and produce supply contracts where dried garlic appears as a line item within larger food procurement packages, alongside proteins, grains, vegetables, and dairy. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two recent solicitations for dried beans (March and June 2026) at scales suggesting regular institutional purchasing of shelf-stable proteins and starches; dried garlic would follow similar procurement patterns and compliance requirements. School districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County (Georgia) have solicited master grocery and produce contracts with annual terms and firm pricing structures, typically including 900+ line items spanning proteins, grains, produce, and staples. The Commodity does not appear as a standalone line item in the recent opportunities block; instead, it is subsumed within broader grocery or produce RFPs and ITBs issued by school districts and state agencies. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through GEC Buying Cooperative, February 2026; Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County school districts, March 2026), Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP meal program, July 2026; Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products, May 2026), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI Child Nutrition Services, March 2026), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools, April 2026), and Oregon (Department of Corrections, March and June 2026). The code shows minimal standalone purchasing activity; procurement officers should treat dried organic long keeper garlic as a nested component of larger school nutrition and institutional food-service contracts rather than as a discrete procurement vehicle. Opportunity pursuit depends on existing relationships with school districts' nutrition programs or state institutional food-service operations rather than on direct garlic-specific solicitations.
