UNSPSC 50443809: Frozen solent wight garlic

The variety of garlic known as solent wight garlic that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443809 Frozen solent wight garlic, a Commodity code, does not correspond to the recent state and local procurement opportunities in the dataset. The code nominally describes a frozen garlic product, but the opportunities posted under this code span frozen vegetables (corn, carrots, mixed assorted blends, potatoes), fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery and food service procurement across correctional facilities, school districts, and state agencies—none of which match the narrow commodity name.

State and local governments are instead actively buying frozen vegetable products, fresh produce, and full-line grocery supply through this code classification. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables (carrots, assorted blends, corn, and specialty vegetables) with delivery to its Central Distribution Center in Salem; school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and other states are issuing IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive food procurement supporting child nutrition programs; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is procuring supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers; and county correctional facilities in Pennsylvania and other jurisdictions are seeking groceries, meats, and paper products on as-needed bases. The issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, independent school districts, county systems, and municipalities. Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon (multiple ODOC frozen vegetable solicitations through July 2026), Georgia (school districts issuing fresh produce and grocery bids through June 2026), Texas (state agency and school district food procurements), and scattered activity in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 for 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn with a due date of July 24, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools with bids due April 27, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026. The code shows substantial recent activity, but the mismatch between the nominal commodity name and actual procurement scope suggests either a classification error in the underlying data or a code assignment that does not reflect current buying patterns.
