UNSPSC 50443800: Frozen garlics

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

UNSPSC 50443800 Frozen garlics is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with this commodity scope. The nine solicitations in the block—spanning frozen vegetables, grocery staples, fresh produce, cafeteria food products, and supplemental food supplies—show no procurement of frozen garlic specifically. Instead, the code captures a broader institutional food-service buy: state correctional facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and county detention centers sourcing packaged frozen vegetables, fresh produce, grains, proteins, dairy, and paper products for meal service operations. The mismatch between the code name and actual buying patterns suggests either a data-tagging error or a code that has drifted in use.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county detention facilities (Montgomery County Correctional Facility). Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (multiple school districts), Oregon (ODOC), Texas (TDCJ, HHSC), and scattered instances in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' frozen-corn ITB (S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026) seeking 40,000 pounds at approximately $0.498 per pound delivered FOB Destination to Salem; the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery RFP (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) covering over 1,100 line items with Buy American requirements and LINQ School Solutions ordering integration; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food IFB (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026) for 210 line items across state hospitals and living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Most contracts run July through June to align with school and fiscal years, with pricing firm for 30 to 365 days post-award, delivery FOB Destination, and insurance requirements typically $500,000 to $2 million in general liability coverage.
