UNSPSC 50473807: Canned or jarred organic rocambole garlic

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

UNSPSC 50473807 Canned or jarred organic rocambole garlic (Commodity) covers shelf-stable garlic products that state and local agencies procure as part of broader food-service and institutional food purchasing. While the code's name specifies organic rocambole garlic, recent state and local solicitations tag this code alongside dozens of other canned and jarred vegetables, proteins, condiments, and consumable supplies in large multi-line-item food tenders. The actual buying under this code reflects institutional food service for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and community service departments—where garlic appears as one line item among hundreds in comprehensive annual food contracts. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Illinois), state correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas TDCJ), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia). The code sees activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, where state-level procurement offices and county/school districts issue recurring annual or multi-year food tenders.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumables supplying state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide—a 210-line-item procurement with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million, due July 13, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB in June 2026 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026); while that solicitation does not explicitly name garlic, it demonstrates the scale and structure of commodity food tenders in the region. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #26271 in May 2026 for school nutrition food products across multiple categories, due June 15, 2026, requiring delivery to four school locations and Buy American compliance. These tenders typically specify USDA grade standards, delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, FOB Destination pricing with freight prepaid, minimum 90-day shelf life, and compliance with food safety and federal procurement regulations. Bidders must provide three verifiable references, proof of insurance, and certifications addressing debarment, E-Verify, and often Texas bidder preferences or Oregon resident preferences where applicable.
