UNSPSC 50473810: Canned or jarred organic spanish morado garlic

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

UNSPSC 50473810 Canned or jarred organic Spanish morado garlic is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable garlic products procured for institutional food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily corrections departments, health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers and hospitals, school districts, and county social services departments. The work solicited reflects broad food-service supply needs: the code sits within a larger category of institutional consumables, and recent opportunities frame garlic as one line item among dozens or hundreds in comprehensive food procurement bids rather than as a standalone specialty ingredient. Representative solicitations show issuing bodies seeking hundreds of line items of shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, condiments, and prepared foods in single comprehensive bids—garlic appears as a minor component of these larger consumables contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for state-supported living centers (Lufkin and El Paso facilities) and state hospitals, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice sourcing through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division for prison cafeteria operations, and Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each conducting school nutrition food bids. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a large canned-tomato procurement in June 2026 and an unspecified potato variety bid in July 2026, indicating consistent institutional produce and canned-goods activity in that state. Gwinnett County in Georgia and the State of Illinois also appear in the recent record. The Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, posted June 11, 2026 with quotes due July 13, 2026, carried a historical reference value of $1.5 million for the prior year and covered 210 line items spanning fresh, frozen, and canned food products; similarly, Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive school nutrition bid (IFB #26271, posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) spanned nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories with weekly delivery requirements to four school locations. Garlic as a canned or jarred specialty item would likely qualify as a minor line item in these broad institutional food service contracts rather than driving procurement volume or strategy on its own.
