UNSPSC 50483803: Garlic chive purees

The variety of garlic known as garlic chives which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483803 Garlic chive purees is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh and preserved vegetable products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct demand for garlic chive purees specifically. Instead, state and local procurement under this code family focuses on broader vegetable commodities—canned tomatoes, potatoes, fresh and frozen produce, and shelf-stable condiments—as part of comprehensive food-supply contracts for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county social services. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple standing living-center procurements), Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's office, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Illinois state agencies, and the State of Georgia. The scope of work spans institutional meal provision with emphasis on USDA-compliant, domestically sourced, shelf-stable items; fresh and frozen produce is specified alongside prepared foods, protein sources, and consumable supplies for cafeteria operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables serving state-supported living centers—notably HHS0018082 (Lufkin facility, October 23, 2026 response date), HHS0017872 (Lufkin, August 25, 2026), and HHS0017449 (El Paso, July 13, 2026), with the latter carrying a prior-period value of $1.5 million and a potential three-year ceiling of $4.5 million. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five warehouse regions, with response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools—issued IFBs for comprehensive food procurement spanning nearly 400 line items each, with Ben Hill opening June 15, 2026, and Burke County opening June 5, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items due October 19, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections sought approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better) due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase benchmark of $13.75 per case. No recent solicitations explicitly request garlic chive purees as a line item; garlic chive products, if procured at all under this code, would appear within broader condiment, sauce, or prepared-vegetable categories in multi-hundred-item institutional food bids.
