UNSPSC 50463807: Canned or jarred rocambole garlic

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

UNSPSC 50463807 Canned or jarred rocambole garlic, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product category within state and local food procurement; recent opportunities show that this specific item appears rarely in the sourced records, with state and local governments actually buying canned and jarred specialty garlic products as components of much larger food service contracts rather than as standalone procurements. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts, state departments of corrections, and state health and human services agencies conducting quarterly or annual food supply solicitations for institutional food service operations, cafeterias, and centralized distribution centers. State-level health agencies and corrections departments also procure from this category for facility-wide meal programs serving residents and patients across statewide networks.

Geographic activity spans multiple regions, with recent opportunities posted by Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers), Oregon (Department of Corrections Central Distribution Center in Salem), and Georgia (school districts including Douglas County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County systems). Canned or jarred garlic does not appear as a line-item focus in any posted opportunity; instead, the commodity sits within broader food procurement codes (NIGP classes 380, 385, 390, 393) covering seasonings, condiments, and prepared foods purchased in bulk by corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and state hospital systems. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with estimated prior-year value of $1.5 million), and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste (due March 9, 2026, with two truckloads of approximately 40,000 pounds each). These institutional buyers typically purchase canned or jarred specialty items as part of standardized ingredient lists, with pricing quoted as unit rates firm for extended contract periods and subject to USDA or other commodity index adjustments.
