UNSPSC 50463804: Canned or jarred germidor garlic

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

UNSPSC 50463804 Canned or jarred germidor garlic, a Commodity code, describes specialty preserved garlic products that state and local governments procure primarily as components of broader food service supply contracts rather than as standalone items. Recent solicitations show canned and jarred preserved garlic embedded within large-scale food procurement exercises by school districts, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments, where these products appear as minor line items within hundreds-item inventories spanning proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and prepared foods. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school nutrition programs (elementary through high school), state-supported living centers, state hospitals, and correctional facilities across multiple states. The code sees activity from state education agencies (school districts in Georgia, Virginia, Missouri), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC serving state hospitals and supported living centers), and state corrections departments (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional recent procurement by Illinois and Missouri school districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services division issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issuing competitive bids for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products for the 2026-27 school year (due April 29, 2026), and the Muscogee County School District in Georgia soliciting sealed bids for produce and related items under ITB 26-017 (due April 27, 2026). Canned or jarred germidor garlic does not appear as a standalone commodity in these solicitations; rather, vendors responding to broader food procurement IFBs and RFPs supply it as part of comprehensive condiment or specialty-food packages meeting institutional meal-planning requirements. The code shows limited standalone demand—preserved garlic products are typically ordered as secondary items within cooperative purchasing arrangements or as part of net-off-invoice (NOI) agreements with larger food distributors rather than through dedicated single-commodity procurements.
