UNSPSC 50463802: Canned or jarred chinese garlic stems

The variety of garlic known as chinese garlic stems that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463802 Canned or jarred Chinese garlic stems (Commodity) covers specialty Asian preserved vegetables that state and local government food service operations procure as part of broader meal-preparation supply chains, though the code shows minimal direct solicitation activity focused solely on this item. Recent opportunities tagged under the code reveal that state and local buyers source this product as one line item within larger food procurement exercises for correctional facilities, state health and human services institutions, and school nutrition programs rather than as a standalone commodity. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, school districts, and school nutrition programs across multiple jurisdictions. When canned or jarred Chinese garlic stems appear in sourced materials, they are bundled into multi-category food procurements that emphasize USDA compliance, sodium limits, shelf-life requirements, firm fixed pricing, and delivery logistics to centralized distribution centers or individual school sites.

Geographic activity reflects scattered demand across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with no concentration in any single state or region. The most recent opportunities show state health and human services commissions in Texas (HHS0017449, HHS0016792, HHS0016792V2) issuing IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide; school districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia issuing IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive food procurement; and the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITBs for canned goods including tomatoes. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items procurement for the 2026-27 school year (due April 29, 2026). The code itself appears underutilized as a primary solicitation marker; opportunities are tagged with it only incidentally as part of broader food category procurement. Pursuit should be contingent on whether your firm can compete within larger food-service distribution relationships rather than as a specialty-item sole supplier.
