UNSPSC 50463810: Canned or jarred spanish morado garlic

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

UNSPSC 50463810 Canned or jarred Spanish morado garlic is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as a component of broader food-supply contracts, most prominently within school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations for prisons, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The code sees activity primarily through school districts and state departments of corrections and health services, which bundle garlic alongside hundreds of other food items in comprehensive annual procurement solicitations rather than as a standalone line item. Recent opportunities show garlic embedded in multiphase food bids covering produce, proteins, condiments, and prepared items—the actual buying reflects institutional kitchen volume purchasing where garlic appears as one of many seasoning and condiment line items within RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs that run 200 to 900+ line items each.

The issuing-body mix skews heavily toward school districts and state agencies. School districts—including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Muscogee County School District (Georgia)—drive the largest and most frequent activity, with food solicitations posted monthly across the spring and early summer for July-through-June contract years. State departments of corrections (Oregon), health and human services commissions (Texas), and veterans homes (Illinois) issue supplemental and primary food procurements on quarterly to annual cycles. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables (due July 13, 2026, with prior period value of $1.5 million); the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution across 32 schools with estimated annual spend of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026); and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 covering 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). Garlic and similar specialty ingredients are priced as components of broader fixed-price or cost-plus line-item bids where vendors quote per-case or per-unit rates inclusive of delivery; no recent opportunities tag garlic as a standalone procurement.
