UNSPSC 50463800: Canned or jarred garlics

The type of vegetable known as garlics that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463800 Canned or jarred garlics is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of packaged preserved vegetable products, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct demand for garlic specifically. The code sits within a broader food supply ecosystem where school districts, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments source canned and jarred vegetables as component ingredients in institutional food service. Recent opportunities reflect heavy procurement of canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery bundles that may include preserved vegetables, but garlic does not appear prominently in the representative recent solicitations. State and local issuing bodies sourcing under related preserved-vegetable codes include school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Rockwood R-VI School District), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). These jurisdictions procure canned and jarred vegetables as part of large institutional food service contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, with school district procurement dominating the recent solicitation stream. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumable products spanning 210 line items including canned goods for state hospitals and supported living centers (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026), and multiple school district food service IFBs across Georgia covering hundreds of grocery line items where canned and jarred vegetables are bundled as components. The code shows material activity in institutional food service procurement, though opportunities are typically structured as all-in grocery or food-service contracts rather than single-commodity procurements. Canned garlic or preserved garlic products do not appear in the recent opportunities reviewed, suggesting limited standalone demand under this code at the state and local level.
