UNSPSC 50463806: Canned or jarred ramson garlic

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

UNSPSC 50463806 Canned or jarred ramson garlic, a Commodity code, covers specialty canned and preserved garlic products that state and local governments procure as components of broader food service contracts. Recent solicitations show this code appearing within much larger food procurement efforts for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state health and human services operations — rather than as a standalone item category. The code surfaces in contexts where state and local food buyers specify ingredient components or preserved vegetable line items alongside canned tomatoes, condiments, and other pantry staples, though canned ramson garlic itself is rarely called out by name in the opportunities reviewed. School districts, state corrections departments, and state health and human services commissions dominate the issuing bodies using related codes; these jurisdictions solicit food on rolling annual cycles with firm fixed pricing structures, delivery into central warehouses and distributed school or facility sites, and USDA and FDA compliance requirements. Food service procurement under these codes typically requires vendors to meet minimum insurance, debarment certification, and federal work authorization standards, with awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders based on total cost or line-item pricing.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Illinois based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449) for state supported living centers statewide with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 canned tomato ITB (S2910000016089) for 7,616 cases with an estimated eight truckloads, and school district food bids from Fairfax County Public Schools (April 2026, Master Grocery K-12 IFB) and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (April 2026, grocery items and Net Off Invoice procurement by April 29 deadline). None of the reviewed solicitations named canned or jarred ramson garlic as a line-item requirement; the code's recent activity appears minimal or embedded within larger produce and condiment categories that state and local food buyers consolidate in single RFPs and IFBs.
