UNSPSC 50453804 Frozen organic germidor garlic is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen vegetable products sourced for institutional food service operations. State and local procurement activity under this code reflects broader school nutrition and state agency purchasing for frozen produce items that meet USDA compliance standards, including Buy American provisions and food safety requirements such as HACCP plans and product recall procedures. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies acquiring frozen and fresh produce—often grouped with broader grocery and food-service categories—as part of comprehensive child nutrition program procurement. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (particularly in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri), county school systems, state agencies, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles. School nutrition programs dominate the buyer base, with contracts typically structured for annual performance periods (July 1 through June 30) and including renewal options of one to four years based on vendor performance.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri.
