UNSPSC 50443811: Frozen venetian/italian garlic

The variety of garlic known as venetian/italian garlic that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443811 Frozen venetian/italian garlic, a Commodity code, does not align with the scope of recent state and local procurement activity under this classification. The one opportunity nominally tagged to this code—Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items—encompasses peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services, with no mention of frozen garlic or Italian/Venetian preparations. The solicitations in the recent-opportunities block span institutional food service (school districts, state correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and county corrections), with buys covering frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, grains, and prepared entrees—none specifically naming frozen Venetian or Italian garlic products.

State and local procurement activity tagged to this code shows no recent demand signal for the commodity as named. The issuing bodies active in this food procurement space—Gwinnett County, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, the State of Illinois, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts in Georgia and Connecticut, and state departments across multiple jurisdictions—are purchasing broad-based institutional food supplies but not signaling procurement of specialty frozen garlic products. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Illinois, with scattered activity in Connecticut and New Jersey, but the commodity code itself does not reflect actual buying patterns. Without recent solicitations demonstrating demand for frozen Venetian or Italian garlic specifically, the code presents minimal pursuit opportunity at this time.
