UNSPSC 50473809: Canned or jarred organic solent wight garlic

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

UNSPSC 50473809 Canned or jarred organic solvent wight garlic is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred garlic products. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily purchasing inventory for institutional food service operations — primarily state-operated residential facilities, county senior services, school nutrition programs, and state corrections departments. Recent solicitations show that garlic (in canned or jarred form) appears as a line item within much larger consumables food procurements rather than as a standalone category; it is typically bundled with dozens or hundreds of other food products, seasonings, condiments, and food service supplies in multi-item IFBs and IWQs. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, corrections departments, county boards of commissioners, and school districts. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears repeatedly as a high-volume buyer for state-supported living centers, state hospitals, and related facilities; Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Oregon Department of Corrections also actively solicit food and consumables. A few solicitations name specific food items such as canned tomatoes or potatoes, but most treat garlic as one line among many in large food service bids.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the highest concentration in Texas (multiple HHS and TDCJ procurements) and secondary activity in Georgia (county and school district bids) and Oregon (corrections and state procurement). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 posted October 16, 2026 (bids due October 23, 2026) for consumables foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, which encompassed 22 food and supply line items with delivery within seven days; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 posted October 13, 2026 (quotes due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces for senior services; and the Texas TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning roughly 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Most institutional buyers require F.O.B. Destination delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, firm fixed pricing, and compliance with USDA grades and FDA standards; many impose HACCP plan requirements, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000, and E-Verify employment authorization verification. The code shows no standout set-asides or preferences in the recent record, though Oregon's potato and canned-tomato procurements applied Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent evaluation weight.
